Excuse me while I whine a bit . . .
When did the holidays become all about being busy? The reason for the season is Jesus, not endless parties, concerts, rehearsals, cleaning, cooking, shopping . . . .
But somehow, all of these things have become part of Christmas; overshadowing Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love to shop, to visit, to attend parties, to sing in concerts, etc. But at some point we have to say STOP!!!! ENOUGH!!!!! I can not cram one more minute's worth of stuff into December.
Is this why people have begun putting out the Christmas stuff in October? Is it so we can try to fit everything in? But who really is thinking of preparing for Christmas when we're still running around in shorts?
How big can everything get before the pendulum swings the other way? Or will it not swing like a pendulum? Will the event simply make a drastic change? Or, worse, will it continue to grow until the Christmas season starts at the beginning of October and goes through January?
Thank you for allowing me to rant and whine. You may continue with your over overly busy schedule.
