Holidays are not happy, family times for everyone

I loved reading this and completely agree as my family is very small, too. I am saddened by the blatant commercialism to purchase things that we just don't really need. What a waste of the earth's resources! The best we can do is make positive memories by giving love to others, rather than things!

@asdf I agree completely that Christmas has gotten too commercial but I think giving thoughtful gifts is a way that many people, my family included, express their love for each other. When you really think about what would be meaningful for a person, something they would really enjoy, then it is an expression of love. I have known people who give no thought to gifts. To me, that's just stupid. Last year on my birthday my daughter gave me a gift of making a donation in my name to an organization that educates young women. That was one of the most thoughtful gifts I ever received. My daughter and I are very much on the same wavelength.
