Enough Already

I went into the local bargain store two days ago to get something for my Hallowe'en costume and what met me when I walked in? A wall full of Christmas cards.................Christmas Cards!!!! For crying out loud, it's only October. What happened to starting Christmas in mid November? Christmas has just become way too commercialized!!!

This year I'm fighting back. I'm not giving in to the lure of the cash register, the screaming ads that say "buy me, your loved ones will love you", I am going back to the past and creating something special for my family members. I am putting together a Christmas Memories book with Christmas Carols, games, recipes, Christmas stories and some personal memories. It's time to say "NO" to the merchants, to say "STOP bombarding us". It's time to take back our Christmas and make it back into a family time! It's time to stop overspending and then taking the rest of the year to pay off the credit cards!

Let's make this a Merry Christmas this year, not one we spend in dread knowing what will be coming in the spring..........the deadly bills.

Are you with me? Would you like to see what I am creating? Drop me a line and I'll send you a copy when I'm done.

I\'m with you, Fran! I\'ve been boycotting the commercialization of Christmas for quite some time now...I\'d LOVE to see what you\'re creating. In-house email is open. LOL
