Those that can afford to are raising children that feel entitled.  To many children are left feeling that something is wrong with them or that they did something bad so they did not deserve gifts.  I wish Christmas was just that, Christ Night.  I would love to see all gifts go away and make it a time of people coming together, praying together and singing only the beautiful religious carols.  A reconnecting of people.

Re: Shams-i-Heartsong,

Yes, there is that to see, as well, among those who can afford to play along with the commercial traditions, to transform them into the personal and joyous. And I applaud those who can't afford all that, yet still make it a time of personal joy.

Take the Christmas gifts back to the Children. Give gifts to children everywhere.
