When did Christmas become so commercial? Even as a little kid, I can remember acting out the nativity scene every Christmas Eve with our family friends and taking baked goods to the widowed in our church. When did that sort of thing become less common? I think one of the reasons I can't be as excited for Christmas is because I know that it's turned into a big commercial holiday, instead of celebrating the birth of Christ and the meaning of family and being grateful.
I'm making it my own personal goal to remember why we celebrate Christmas this year and hope that it will make me feel like I'm back in my childhood. I'm going to enjoy my limited time with all of my family and remember to be grateful for everything.
My name is Lauren Kearns, and this is my blog about finding myself as I go through my life. I'll probably post pictures and stories and possibly even parts of my bucket list as I complete them.
