Recently, I was asked what Christmas means to me and to be honest around the holidays I become irritated and grouchy. I have been in such a funk that I was called Scrooge and The Grinch. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate Christmas I just despise what it now stands for. Everyone is so caught up in buying presents, because the kids have huge lists or they are in competition with others who can spend the most money; that they don't remember the true meaning. Christmas isn't about only about gifts, decorating trees, Santa Clause, it's about spending time with friends and family...making wonderful memories. Memories are going to stay with you forever, not gifts. This Christmas take the time to appreciate one another, rebuild relationships and most importantly show the world some love. Happy Holidays. Love Always, Candace Nicole
