Christmas Blues
I am not enjoying this year at all and especially not this Christmas. I would like to totally skip the entire year as it has been the most upsetting one of my entire life. Many things have occurred from several different areas that cannot be changed, there's just no going back. And, it's just not personal stuff, it's other things as well...world things...things I cannot change or even make a dent in.
I'd like the world back I grew up in because this one has morphed into a cold, mean, ugly one even though everyone goes around with a mantra on their lips babbling politically correct jibberish when the answer is so very simple if...and that's the big thing, if... If has disolved into nothingness and the world spins so fast now that few even stop to hear what is being said...they just jump on the bandwagon because in many cases, it's the neat thing to do or something to do. They'll find someday they had no roots in it...it was just a moment in time and will look back on it with pride saying they can't believe they took part in it or in shame wondering why they did.
What I see is a public that let's the F word drop at the drop of a hat, rudeness toward young and old, people going crazy in the stores at Christmas grabbing and shoving, reaching out with greedy hands but at the same time talking about bullying and making sure it doesn't happen to their child but look how the parents act out in society--is there any wonder there are bullies? And no, I am very against bullying in school or anywhere else but this bandwagon is only for a few and not for all. I see Christians bullied everyday in someway whether it's in the media, in schools, or personally, I've seen it all this year.
I celebrated Christmas for one reason and now that is being taken away. It's turned into a brawl and greed and only a handfull in America even celebrate for the true reason. Am I a Scrooge this year...maybe...but as I see it, everyday ought to be Christmas with people giving not just to family but to people truly in need. It's become like going to church is for so many people, a social event, like they think sitting in church makes up for all the wrong things done during the week. Going to church doesn't mean a thing! It's what you do and how you act that matters. You can sit in a pew all week long but that's not going to get it done.
I guess I'm through ranting for now but I just don't see myself celebrating Christmas much longer.
