I’ve always gotten a kick out of people who tell you there the only ones keeping the real spirit of Christmas and the rest of us are just slaves to the businesses that have taken over Christmas. The idea that those who shop are less holy then they are is really funny . I love Christmas and the old stories about the birth of Jesus , I love the memories of cold snowy nights, my mom and dad in our tiny kitchen and carols and midnight mass, but I also love the commercial and charitable side of Christmas, I have always been like Scrooge after the ghosts have all left spending foolishly when I didn’t have money and still doing it when I have some money . I spent many christmases in very terrible places but I had the old memories of Christmas and the present ones of my family having a wonderful Christmas and thinking of me .so if you ever see me at the mall with a bunch of presents you’ll be able to see that I’m a man who knows how to keep Christmas both commercial and spiritual
