Christmas is a wonderful time. A time when shopping for $15.00 ornaments is justified. A time when tangled stringed lights look beautiful. A time when pine scented candles are perfect. A time when please, thank yous and excuse mes are most fitting and will ensure you get something under your tree.
But ChristMÁS is also about extremes. A lot of food. Too much traffic. Extended family. And MÁS dinero! Christmas has even breeched the Halloween line…and now Black Friday is as celebrated as the actual day of Christ’s birth!
And more means more stress. More food to buy to feed more family who have brought more gifts. You’ll have to send out more Christmas cards to wish more people the happiest of holidays! And more gifts doesn’t mean more thank you notes, cause you are expected to give more. I love Christmas for all the good. But more and more, the bad threatens to shift the weight of the scale. Sometimes I think Christmas should just be renamed to, Christmore.
