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?

Love it leading up to Christmas as people seem happier and holidays for many are on the horizon. However many kids, including my grandchildren, are all about how many presents they are getting and who is going to outdo who with the latest games and sports equipment. We buy just 1 sensible present for each one. I blame the parents for this, not the kids. Love going to church on Xmas Eve and I am not a religious man. We don't buy for adults as we cannot afford it. Love preparing and cooking the Xmas Day meal and helping prepare lunch for the homeless people at a local hall, very early on Christmas morning.....their smiles are unbelievable!
