It's that time of year when consumers are being inundated with ads and commercials about what to buy for all the special people in your life for Christmas. Why has this become what the "holidays" are all about? The original reason for honoring this Christian celebration is all but lost in mass consumerism. Whether you ascribe to Christian beliefs or not, shouldn't we be more concerned with showing concern and compassion for our fellow man during this season and not perpetuating the vicious cycle of debt, greed, and one-upmanship? We should be doing ourselves and others a favour by spending this time reflecting on the past year and being thankful for what and who we have in our lives, and contemplate the next year with how to make this world better through our words, actions, and attitudes.
