Where are you christmas?

Lately my parent have been talking about how we are low on money this year for Christmas.
This is due to my college payments, car payments etc.
Mom seems to be so worried about how much we have to spend.
We've even talked about just asking for one thing for Christmas instead of making a list like before.
Hearing this stuff bothers me.
What ever happened to celebrating Christmas?
In today's society it seems as if we worry so much about gifts, and money, and making everyone happy and getting
everyone exactly what they ask for. So, does anyone truly celebrate Christmas anymore?
I've been listening to Bing Crosby lately. He talks about sitting around the radio or piano
with the people you love, and just enjoying your time together.
Christmas is a time to remember Jesus's birthday and remembering him.
Sitting around a table eating turkey, baking cookies, writing letters to Santa Claus
looking at Christmas lights, making hot chocolate, decorating the tree, popping popcorn Nd watching
the 25 days of Christmas, and old movies. Singing carols, and if you can give presents, give them. If not
making presents suffice. It's about love. Christmas is about Jesus.
I love Christmas. I don't care about all of that. I just want to have a happy, fun Christmas.
