Christmas is over. We’ll soon be into a new year.
Will we resolve to leave simpler lives next year, without all the hustle and bustle surrounding one day?
Retailers promote shopping. The madness begins the day after Thanksgiving, on “Black Friday.” Customers are enticed by door-buster sales items. Over the course of the next month, one two-day only sale is followed by another.
Did you see any smiling faces while on your shopping ventures this year? Were you appreciative of the gifts you received?
Christmas for many people has become a day of giving and getting. Consider focusing on faith, family and friends next year.
