Whatever Happened to Christmas
Alright I give up. Christmas is no longer a religious holiday at all.
This does not have anything to do with whether you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. This is about what happened to the joy of the day.
Everything is now about what you got or did not get. If kids don't get Ipods, cell phones, laptops and expensive game consoles, they aren't having a good Christmas.
Whatever happened to fruit and nuts, and a doll or something, why have we become so extravagant.
I am serious. Why have we forsaken the birth of Christ, the most un-selfish of all icons and turned the day of his "alleged" birth into the most selfish of all days.
Oh yes we are selfish at Christmas, we buy presents because people buy us presents. Let somebody cross you and not buy you a present. They got hell to pay.
Will somebody please explain why its a sad Christmas if we don't get presents yet have the love of another on any day? Y'all betta help me. Cause I am about to lose my mind.

Man...it's funny that you made this post. A friend of mine was just venting to me about the lack of religious focus on Christmas presently. She kept saying how much she couldn't understand why it's so essential for everyone to receive gifts on the day Christ was born while no one seems intent on giving Christ anything. Her parting question was, "Whose birthday is it? Ours or His?"
You speak the truth brotha. But um...don't feel bad. I haven't gotten a Christmas present in about 3 or 4 years, nor have I given one out. And Jesus is yet born every year without any problem!

Christmas is about the gift of giving, but people confused the gift of Christ with the gift of Xbox 360's.
It is a bit sad how commercialized the holidays have become. A lot of times we forget that Jesus is the reason for the season.
Shawn asks a good question.."Whose birthday are we celebrating?"
