Life without Christmas presents…


Responding to a challenge here is my view of life without having to buy presents.

What would I do with the money I would save if I did not buy the presents for Christmas?


When she first asked me this I had no answer. I never thought of this question in my entire life, so I had no answer. I thought, and thought, and thought until smoke came out of my head. I though that I would give a Social Institution. Or that I would buy something to myself, etc…


But as I thought of this, something in my mind told me that this would not happen. Well it is not that I do not wish to do that, but rather that I would not do that.


Then it stroke me. Really nothing of that would happen. If I did not spend the money on these presents, nothing significant would change in my life and in the world. I would just spend on little stuff like a coffee, or one more magazine, or a drink in the rest of the year. Just that! Why? Well, because I would not have in my mind that I had to buy presents in December, so I would be freer to spend it in insignificant stuff.


So, it is good that someone created Christmas so we can buy a present to the ones more close to us.


In our fast pace world we need this mandatory stuff to make us stop a little bit and appreciate the people around us. It is sad, but true…

I THINK YOUR RIGHT. IF PEOPLE ARE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES, THAT IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. WE MIGHT LIKE TO THINK THAT WE WOULD GIVE THE MONEY TO CHARITY, ETC, BUT I DON'T THINK MOST WOULD-"THE BEST MADE INTENTIONS", AND ALL THAT.... JUST ONE MORE COMMENT THOUGH, THAT PERSON YOUR TALKING ABOUT WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS, IS GOD, AND HE STARTED IT BY GIVING THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL-THE GIFT OF HIS SON JESUS!!
