oh yes-- the government has turned Christmas into an economic measuring stick--merchants think Christmas is an open inventation to raid our wallets...etc...etc.

But Christmas is still Christmas

I know not who enjoys Christmas most, those who open my gifts to them or me to see the delight in their eyes

The sharing of a special day with family and friends in each other's company

All I can say is that Christmas come what may, but bring it on for I am impatient for its delay
