It’s the day before Christmas Eve 2013.
There is a sadness
in Amerika, I hear it in the voices and see it in the faces of the people, everywhere I go. Christmas has become a burden inits commercialization. Everyone is so
bombarded by store ads and the latest gadgets, that the expectations have been
raised so high, simply giving someone a hug, telling them you love them and that you will be there in times of need, maybe some small handmade gift from the heart
is not enough. Santa no longer gives little girls and boys’ dolls and Lincoln
logs but the newest and biggest car and truck. People are stressed to buy, buy, buy, borrow from tomorrow to fill those expectations built buy corporate pitch men. The spirit and the smile and love of giving is not there. Its Zombie land in the faces of the shoppers of the mega malls and Walmarts of Amerika.
It makes me very sad for all of us, as individuals, as a society and as a country. Very sad indeed!
