meaning of christmas

i totally agree with ryan. for one of my college essays i actually wrote about how the meaning of christmas has completlely been lost and its become a real problem. even if you aren't religious, it still has a deep mean if you choose for it to be that way. i work at the mall so i see crazy shoppers who get caught up in the rush and get angry and irriated at little things. presents are fun and all but for as long as i can remember, i've spent more time around the christmas season buying toys and stuff for underprivledged children than i have buying stuff for my family. this year the only thing i'm excited for is seeing my brother come home who i haven't seen since last christmas.
