Santa
The first thing I thought of was, "Couldn't Christmas be two things?"
Yes, Christmas can be very materialistic not that that's a BAD thing, but we're celebrating Jesus's birth, and I think we do that by going to Christmas Mass, and giving to charity.
I'd be lying if I said there's not ONE part of me that can't wait to see what's under the tree for me, but we're also celebrating the season of giving by picking out and wrapping things we know our family members will love.
