Hi everyone, Henry here. Don’t you just love Disney? I grew up with Disney and I’m making sure that my kids are growing up with Disney too.

Hi everyone, it’s Faith. Let’s talk a little about Christmas gifts for Christians. After all, Christmas gifts for Christians should be a bit different than Christmas gifts that you would buy for your secular friends.

Hey Faith, it’s Henry. Calm down. You’re worse than my wife. The commercialization of Christmas shopping is half of the fun of it and trust me, if I were to try to give my kids a stock certificate or a savings bond, they’d have my head for Christmas dinner.

I’m old enough to remember the Cabbage Patch Kids nightmare of Christmas past. I think parents were actually biting each other over those darn things. Seriously, it’s no joke.

Hi Noel. It’s Faith. I totally agree. Finding unique Christmas gifts can really be a pain. That’s half the reason I’m so fed up with the commercialization of Christmas. Do you think the stores really care whether or not you’re getting great Christmas gifts for your friends? Of course not! They only care if you’re spending your money and if it’s mass-produced junk, it’s no skin off their backs. It makes me sick.

Just once I would love for the Christmas shopping nightmare to turn into a Christmas shopping dream. After all, I love shopping but fighting the Christmas crowds can get to the best of us. Even me.
