Christmas

I am thinking that Christmas has fallen unto greed and selfishness. What about you?

I think it has on the whole, but all is not lost.   I mean, you see stores selling Christmas decorations at the end of October now.  I think that's pretty ridiculous.  But I think that there are still a lot of people that still have a good sense of Christmas and a good feeling towards people.  On Christmas Eve, my family and I were heading out of town (we actually had dentist appointments!) and our car broke down in a small town about 3/4 of the way there.  It's absolutely freezing here and in less than a minute, a woman came out of the house the the car died next to and offered to bring us inside and get warm.  She also called a neighbor down the road who happens to be a mechanic.  They replaced the broken part and wouldn't take any kind of compensation for it at all.  They just wished us a merry Christmas and told us to have a safe trip.  It was nice to still see people like that.  I feel like they are so hard to come by sometimes.
