Do you wish Christmas would come and go quickly or do you look forward to it with great enthusiasm? Do you believe Christmas has lost its meaning given all the materialistic connotations associated with it or does it still have a special place in your heart?

Christmas has lost its real meaning. It has become too comercialised with the emphasis on food and money. With less and less of my family left i dont look forward to the celebration as i know there are loved ones missing and I truly miss them. I look forward to Church on Christmas day and even though the songs bring back memories and make me cry, i still attend each year. I love watching the grandchildren, nieces and nephews opening their presents and the expressions on their faces are priceless. The feelings i use to have as Christmas approaches excite me but i cant seem to get excited about it any more.
