Recently I've been irked by people complaining that Christmas is commercialised. Yes? And? It's up to us whether we want to 'do Christmas' or not. I for one will enjoy it and each year I've been buying a little bit more of decorations so that each year I can look forward to adding a bit more.
I enjoy seeing lots of presents under the tree. It has an awesome feeling knowing those presents are for people to open and I'm excited to see if they turn out to be good or not. Looking for gifts is fun and for me, it's a way to show my appreciation. Words don't seem to be enough these days.
This year a secret santa got me a Robin Williams poster. I'm still in shock over it because I felt like someone actually understood or at the very least they acknowledged his importance to me. I'll assume coincidence that I had been wanting to find exactly that to put on my wall lately too. That's what I love to do for friends. Let them know without words but with gifts to say yes, I've been paying attention and I'm glad you're in my life.
I wish I could afford to get more presents and for more friends. I love secret Santa's and I love to come up with fun ideas to surprise a friend or something. People are suspicious if you do a nice thing for them without excuse or reason.
So appreciate the thought people put into gifts and things. They are at least trying and they put thought into it. Same with cards. I love receiving cards as I hold on to them. They aren't too expensive and receiving them in the mail or being handed them is nice.
