Love Jingle Bell rock

I believe my favorite is secular, Carol of the Bells but if people say differently, the Silver Bells is my 2nd fav!

So many great ones: Rudolph, Frosty, White Christmas, and on and on.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Max

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

Fred

We're headed for a DEEP recession ... be smart and tighten your belts!

Spent more

Some Dumb Trucker

Things seem to be more affordable this year vs last year. Also we’ve had more money to spend on Christmas this year vs lat year.

Why would it change? I have more money now.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Max

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

It is what it is

Max

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Max

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.

There are too many great choices to settle on just one. Among my faves, "A Child's Christmas in Wales," "A Christmas Story," and "Arthur Christmas" is pretty cute.
