Commercialized Christmas

The leaves are turning colors and falling. The temperature is a bit brisk and steadily declining. Every commercial on T.V. is about holiday gift giving and sales, sales, sales. You couldn't ignore the holiday even if you wanted to. I think a lot of people feel obligated to give gifts, but if you can't buy anything, don't. I think Christmas has become too commercialized. What happened to the real reason for the season? What happened to spending time with family and creating new video memories of the holiday. We used to do that every year when I was a kid and now we're all grown up and live in different places. It would be nice to have things back to they were they were, but those memories will always be with me.
