I am not feeling so great about this Christmas and the silly thing is that it is for the most childish reason. This year for the first time, we are not exchanging gifts as a family. We are going to adopt a family.
Part of me really resents this because really we should be giving all year long and not just showering a family at Christmas with things that make us feel better. My Franciscan fraternity runs a food pantry and feeds the homeless as well. I want to do more but my family is happy with once a year things. where did I go wrong?
The other, childish part of me, wants presents under the tree for me. What about me? Me, me, me! Isn't that what Christmas is about. The silly thing is we gave gifts under $5 and I will still have presents, but not as many. This is what makes me upset, why do I feel this way? Why am I so selfish?
