Holiday greed

For those celebrating Christmas this year and any other. I see alot of broken hearts and lack of compassion of what was unwrapped. And really its the thought that counts. I see so much disappointment, it is sad and very. It really is about presents yes and myself I hate when people say it is not. We since child hood expect the day to bare gifts. Not saying we are all greedy and demanding. Just this day is for gifts, family, love and bonds. But some people upon waking up and unwrapping. Are so off the wall unhappy with what they got. I understand that as well and the feeling. But expecting gifts on a day we created and a day we still celebrate. We know we don't always get our way. Well I have seen Christmas morning go to shit as people are so unhappy. I don't care if you got me a used sock, I be happy. Why ? you got me something and that is why. Appreciation goes a long way in life and some forget that. Who cares if you got to push the toy car instead of remote controlling it. Put a fricking string on the damn thing and pull it. Just shut up and accept it or throw it out. This lack of appreciation is not a new fad, not a snowflaking thing. It is over privileged and spoiled attitude thing and nothing more. Running higher expectations then one should be being handed FREE GIFTS. So I am not a Christmas fan at all, my mother beat that out of me younger. Although I stay in the spirit for my house hold as its the right thing to do. I like my gifts still just like everyone else. But I strongly feel that these overly demanding snoots that are unsatisfied on Christmas morning. Well damn they should get the dishes and cooking for the day. Might as well keep busy cooking and cleaning to take your mind off your gifts you don't like. Appreciation should be whatever the fuck you get. I spoiled my kids all through what I could every year, but taught them so young, dont matter if your gift comes from a second hand store, food store, toy store or clothing store. They will still accept it and not judge. What you get you appreciate or shut up and suck it up. Myself I wont let anyone make me feel guilty for not buying them something pricey or off the wall. It was my money and I did it cause I care, like you or etc. Then to get pissed on, well was my money be grateful. So get what I am saying, of course you do, we all know someone like this. So I try to remind my kids and others through out the year that appreciation is not in the form of a huge loss to your wallet and finances period. The further we go on in life, the spirit is getting lost in transition of wanting and expecting things far off and more expensive as ever. Yup to get that like, spot light picture and etc. The wishes,hopes and dreams on this day are far and few anymore. The time for family and friends has turned more into wanting assets then love. Now that is something that to me I find very sad. Rudi Jensen
