How do you feel about Christmas? Love it? Hate it?

Do you wish Christmas would come and go quickly or do you look forward to it with great enthusiasm? Do you believe Christmas has lost its meaning given all the materialistic connotations associated with it or does it still have a special place in your heart?

Sadly it seems most people view Christmas in a negative way, unless you are a child. Adults have come to realise that it is too commercialised and whilst we all want to get together with families or friends even that can be a let down for some. The whole family togetherness / religious thing has become more and more diminished over the years - this is the world over. Everywhere is in turmoil. But we have to live in the moment and be happy to be alive and if we all invited a stranger who is alone into our homes for Christmas I think we would all be enriched by the experience.
Hugs to all........
