Christmas Spirit?

I have had an unusual week. I normally live in a very upbeat and positive reality. I work very hard to maintain this perspective but this past week has been chock full of negativism. What has happened to our society? When did the spirit of giving become "how much stuff can I get"? How did we come to a place where the holidays are so stressful we feel we must avoid the relatives just so we can relax? What happened to our families that they have now become the burden we must bear instead of the joy of our existence?

I haven't the answers to these questions but I know in an hour or two, after some intense yoga and a nice long walk, all will be right again. Provided of course nobody else rips open one of my accidentally dropped Christmas cards to see if there is any money in it.
