There are all of these commercials on TV about buying things for yourself. People who don't know the true meaning of Christmas, and think it's all buy, buy, buy. Stores are basically saying "Buy form our store! We have the best deals!". That has nothing to do with Christmas. (In the stores' defense, they do have to make money [and it's usually around Christmas that they have to] of they will lose their jobs.] Also, I guess that someone who does not think the true meaning of Christmas is buy, buy, buy, could think of the stores wanting them to buy to give, but still...) Christmas is also not about how many lights you can put up on your house or how big and fancy of a tree you can get, and although those things are fun, giving is still the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas IS all about giving, and it DOES feel good to give someone something around the holidays, but we should be giving all year 'round.
