Well Christmas has now come and gone thank god but recently I have noticed alot of posts about things people got for Christmas that where useless or not needed. Personally to me if something is given to me no matter how useless or not needed I keep it and am very thankful that someone took what little money they had to but my something at all. I nevre except anything for Christmas except for having my family all in 1 spot. I think alot of people nowa days are so into possessions it takes the real meaning of any holidays away. Is this what aour children are doomed to grow like? I hope not. I come from a poor background and the way I was brought up was not to expect hand outs and be happy with what you got because there's always someone in a worst position than you.

I agree about hand outs but I wish people would not spend their money on gifts that are trashy or of no use just so they can say to themselves I'm so nice I gave a gift. Many of these type of gifts have no thought behind them at all i.e. will this gift give the recipient joy or real gratitude because they could not have bought the item for them selves due to financial or other reasons.
