Because of the world crisis most people think that this Christmas will be their loneliest Christmas maybe they can said that because of their earnings these year. Maybe they compare to last years earnings they earned less now. But for me Christmas will always be Merry and Happy no matter what foods we have at dining table or how many gifts we have, but the most important thing is that we have our families beside us, our loved ones around and we are all healthy and God is always with us.

world will always have crisis my dear friend. So dont get carried away, if you have money in your pocket then just go on blast your self. You will never get it back. And you never know we will be there tomorrow so this is the day to enjoy and dont regret about it.

Although I wish we will be happy this coming holiday, You still cant help thinking about the worst. Since the economic meltdown, how will you able to celebrate Christmas with not having things that you are used you. although its just material things but it still feels missing... its sad but its reality.

study shows that during these Holidays season, its been rated that the percentage of people getting depressed rose. the reason, people are putting pressure on themselves. like pressuring themselves to buy gifts even the budget is tight, preparing for parties etc. its all about the material things. they missed the real essence why their is christmas. Christmas is the birthday of JEsus Christ, our Lord and Savior. He came as a baby wrapped swaddling clothes. no brand new clothes. He came to give us hope and a future. He came because He love you and me. that is the real reason for Christmas... love.

im glad you think that way, im the same... sure its nice to be able to buy a bunch of gifts for people and that but when it comes down to it, you should be happy with what u DO have, such as friends/family/etc.. n i think if people across the world cant spend as much this year, it will be kind of a good thing, the world is too materialistic, we need to go back to the basics.. happy holidays!..

this christmas has the potential to be my worst ever due to circumstances beyond my control. still, there is every reason to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and christmas is a perfect reminder that no matter what hardships are thrown our way, these will all come to pass and we can look forward to something infinitely better beyond this lifetime.
