Oh the holidays

Days where we are to be thankful

And be merry and bright

Yet we forgot the meaning

And we go on a shopping spree

Commercialized

Need the next new toy

Maybe we will skip thanksgiving this year and wait in line for black Friday

I hear they have socks for half off

Trample someone because they were in my way

Fight a lady for the next new star wars toy

Oh the joy

We hunger for more

Materialistic

Greed

Never have enough

Also forget that there’s something called online shopping

But it’s not the same

We don’t have someone breathing behind my back

Only in America

Should be our logo

America the land of the great

Has become one big shopping mall

And yet we love it

Two things we love

Food and shopping

Shopaholics

Yes I’m being very sarcastic

Hope it doesn’t hurt your feelings

But believing that buying the next new toy for a kid will make them happy

You will be very disappointed

They probably already have enough junk

Probably will play the box more than the toy

Maybe what they need is not more stuff but more of you

In the end it doesn’t matter how much stuff you have

But the time you are with the ones you love

I can’t remember all the toys I received

But what I do remember are the memories spent with my family and friends

The adventures I had

Instead of using that money on a new toy

Use it to take your kids out on an adventure they will always remember

Be generous

Be thankful

Be kind

Because the holiday greed brings the worst out of people

So let’s change that

Time is short

Make every memory count

Happy Thanksgiving

Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year
