Honour Christmas?

[copippin]

A couple of years ago,our daughter gave us a christmas candle holder with" to a special Mum and Dad" written around part of the base and the other writing is a sentiment by Charles Dickens--"I will honour Christmas in my heart,and try to keep it all year long."

As it was written long ago when I am sure christmas had a much less commercial label than it has today,I wonder how the sentiment would work in present times.I would like to think that at least some honour and genuine good will still exhists.

Any comments?

its a lovely thought but sadly does'nt apply in todays world

I Think this reflects from A christmas Carol. and its something I have said many a time didn't know it was a saying but to me the message of peace and meaning of the true spirit of christmas is for each day alas its not in exsistence and odd one out, having seen Bethlehem in November that town with the high wall and troubles will long remain. Its the people who have made it commercial and it doesn't have to be its because of the theme of keeping up with the Jones... that people spend what they can ill afford and regret it when in debt. Have a good new year.

of course it does and if you look for it, you can see examples every day
