All The Fun of Christmas

without comments

This was the period in which traders take advantage of to earn the income they have failed in the rest of the year. The Chinese learned to write “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” in all languages to meet global demand. The snow, pine trees and mosses are abundant in the houses and shops in the tropics and southern hemisphere, despite being in the summer with high temperatures and lush greenery. Those responsible for buying gifts, they are frustrated when they realize they can not please request a letter excited. They would do wonders for the budget available to them for the whole family. Often prefer not to give, to give away “bit.” The recipients of the gifts may appreciate forced an unwanted gift or repeated. But there is something more dangerous than the simple exchange of gifts, and when it confuses children, putting on the same scale the price of gifts, with affection. Many parents feel guilty for not being able to satisfy the desires of their children, and are relieved when they shift the blame to them responsible, through their behavior, how big or small the present. They say, “If you behave there will be no Christmas,” “if you do not get good grades in school …” And worst of all is that such blackmail is to reach the budget or to get more resources for other expenses. The heartbreak is measured by the price of the gift. You must have the strength to not get carried away by the tide of the year-end commercial and flood the environment with family friendly pleasant moments of sincere and affectionate words that are the basis for achieving all desires.
