Let me just start out by saying I love Christmas. I do. But I hate December with a passion! Honestly, I do.
Why can't we just enjoy Christmas without having to spend extra money buying gifts and food? The Brown's are on a tight budget... the bills don't stop in December so we can celebrate Christmas... and yet, here we are, spending money we don't have on gifts and food for the multiple parties/gatherings we have to attend. And YES, we have to attend all of them! I know we're not the only ones who feel this stress. You feel the crunch too, don't you? Be honest. So why do we let ourselves get sucked in to doing things we know we can't really afford? Why can't we just get together, sing a few Christmas carols, read about the birth of Jesus, and just hang out and play some games? Sure, we might need a snack and a drink for that too, but do we really have to go over the top with it? Do we??? I know I don't need the rum balls, cookies, cakes, candies, & cheese balls. Just get me a glass of water and a snack mix and I'm good to go.
Do I sound like a scrooge? I don't mean to. Honestly, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas! I love everything about it... except the unnecessary spending. We don't need all that to celebrate the birth of our Savior.... that's all I'm saying.
