Regarding the Holidays!

Bonjour, mes enfants!
Please pardon me while I go on a bit of a rant...
It seems that this time of year brings out the worst in people as much as it brings out the good.
People fighting over gifts, driving very impatiently, etc.....
This time of year is not supposed to be about materialism or commercialism, but about love and caring. What's happened to the real meaning of year-end holidays?
We all should be thankful for each other and not for what we own or how much money we make.
I implore all of you that while you are out there looking for the perfect gifts for loved ones, to actually stop and think about what you are doing. They may actually rather have something directly from the heart. It pretty hard to do sometimes, but it's well worth the effort for what you get will get in return.
You all take care!
Lots of Love!
