What's brain storming now + a thought


2:50 AM

Decor brain storming in progress.

This is my first time shopping for Christmas! Walking through the shops these past few days I noticed obvious festive cheer in the air. Shops after shops flog Christmas good; bright lights blinker everywhere.

I love Christmas. But it seems that society sees Christmas as a shopping holiday... The idea of Christmas being religious is a distant memory. In a recent survey, less than three-quarters of children knew Christmas was to celebrate the birth of Jesus, with 11 per cent believing it was the birthday of Father Christmas.

Christmas isn't about plastic santas and lights and presents. Many children are encouraged to write a list of the presents they want for Christmas. As the years go by we become greedy adults. Christmas for many people is money-making time!

Are people forgetting the true meaning, that is the birth of Jesus Christ, of Christmas?
