How important is X-mas to you?

Christmas tree - I really despise this time of year. It's only for those who NEED their family to feel a void in their lives. Most people who love this holiday go to church every Sunday or they are in love with material things.

I wouldn't say that I hate X-mas at all it's just that my family gets on my LAST nerve around this time! LOL! They constantly beg and ask that I come and see them on X-mas...being that I haven't spent X-mas with them for the last 4 years....but it's just NOT ME and they can't get it through their THICK HEADS. To me this is just a day that so many people spend money that could be saved and screw up their their credit even more buying gifts they can't afford to buy. I'm not the holiday type of person and I told my two older sisters that I would come and see them Saturday and it kills me to know that I have to give them some of my time when I could be on mylot making money to pay bills that they aren't going to pay for me. Anyway how important is this day to you?

well it is very important to us.. i mean my family since its the celebration of the birth of our savior...although we know its not the exact date and its only like a symbol or whatever we respect it just like our birthdays we do celebrate right?i dont know about the others whose celebrating it lavishly instead of in a humble way or in spirit of riching our soul and giving to others..

Christmas is very important to me. On Christmas it gives a family a chance to come together and celebrate Christ and each other. If there were no presesnts involved in the holiday I wouldn't have a problem with it. You should want to go and see your family at this time. To me u seem a little bit like a scrooge. It doesn't have to be a holidy afor you to spend time with your family. They just want to spend some time with you since i'm guessing that you haven't seen them all in a long time. Giving a little of your time is not going to kill you and if push comes to shove just use mylot at their house.I don't think being away from mylot for a few hours in order to see and spend time with your family is going to kill you or take that much away from your funding.

Christmas is an important time of year for me,and i love to be visiting with family on this day.Even if you do not care for Christmas, you should try and make your family happy by visiting them.It kills you to have to give your family a little time?I think that there is more important things in life beside making money,and i feel that just maybe you are getting your priority's a littles messed up.It is just one day out of the year.I do not feel that it would hurt to donate one day a year to your family...Do you get along well with your family?Is it the gift giving that bothers you?I am sure if you do not have money to buy gifts are you do not feel it is right or necessary then don't buy gifts.I am sure that all your family wants is your company for one day.I lost my mother two years ago and i would give anything to see her again..Money is important because you need it to pay your bills i agree, but family is also very important too.If you ever lose your family members and they all start getting sick or one of them passes away ,you will regret not spending time with them..I am not in your situation so i cannot judge but i would ask that you think about all of this and see if it would hurt you to spend just one day.

I have many reasons why X-mas is important for me.First of all the birth of christ second of all being together with my family. And one other reason is to forget the past and get started with a new beginning.I see every year as i new start to do better things and stuff.
