I see something happening. There is an awakening of some sort. People are shedding the "Christmas as usual" where we spend ourselves into oblivion, running from one store to the next, buying trinkets, gidgets and gadgets, piling up huge credit card bills and emptying our bank accounts.
Toy manufacturers with their very latest for the little ones, Air Jordans that people will kill for, and others have had us trapped, brainwashed into thinking that emptying our wallets to satisfy some momentary want is what Christmas is all about. Not so.
What are the reasons behind this? There are probably many. But I'd like to think that we, somehow, at this precise moment in time, have been given the opportunity to reassess, take a hard look at what really matters in our lives, what is really important and we're fiinding out that it isn't some type of plastic appliance or a video game.
