I know, it's like a month away, but everyone's getting ready for Christmas already...Currently, I'm watching "The Polar Express," one of the many movies I watch every year around this time. I was thinking today that I should start early, since I usually don't get around to watching them every year.
Anyway, I was just thinking about how people make a big deal out of the holidays, how consumerism is the main focus of the winter days, and not about being with those you love, celebrating the birth of Jesus (for some. Which include me), and having fun.
I must admit that I am guilty of this, I've been thinking of what to buy for my family. Hopefully my sister doesn't read this particular blog post, because I'm going to tell you guys about what I've been thinking.
Every year, I buy living gifts for my family. Living gifts, if you don't know what they are, are either animals, plants, learning opportunities, and so on for those that live in developing countries. I've gone with Food for the Hungry for the past couple years, and I like the gifts that are available through them, as there are a lot of selection, and they're all reasonably priced.
This year, however, I think I want to actually buy something for my sister. And there's one thing in particular that I want to get, but the only way to get it is to go online and buy it, for a reasonable price anyway. I don't personally own a credit card, so I'd have to ask my mom or dad to borrow theirs, and pay them back. I've been thinking of getting my own credit card, but I honestly don't want to: I don't mind paying for things in cash and debit as far as I'm concerned. But for buying things online, it's more difficult: I need a credit card, unless I have Interact, or whatever it's called.
Well, that's about it. I might edit this post to add more if I think of something, but yeah. I might also have more Xmas posts in the near future, so we'll see.
Love for now.
