Are We Making Christmas to be Too Consumer Oriented?
With Christmas in just a few weeks, a lot of people are buying gifts. However, Pope Benedict XVI is lamenting the consumerism of Christmas.
“The way of living out, and perceiving, Christmas unfortunately quite often suffers from a materialistic mentality,” Benedict said.
Ah, this reminds me of the time when Christmas meant giving a gift to someone and it was given with a thought instead of just buying and giving for the sake of giving. Christmas isn’t Christmas without a present for your closed ones. However, do we really need to buy for them?
Perhaps I should really think about picking up some scrapbooking skills for this Christmas.
