This is what I want to know...
On Sunday night, my roommate and I were putting up the tree. I had some Christmas music on as we worked. She mentioned that she really didn't like the season. I asked her why, and what her response was really made me stop and think. She said that all people cared about in the season was giving gifts and getting gifts. They've forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, which is celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and loving one another. The commercialism is a major turn off for her.
As I essentially work for J.Crew as a CSR, the commercialism is becoming a turn off for me too. These people with disposable incomes are calling in, wanting to order what the scriptures refer to "fine apparel" for exhorbitant amounts of money. The best thing I can do from here on out is cling to the Gospel and remember why we're celebrating Christmas, remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, and to love my fellow man.
Slan go foill...
