'Tis the Season...

It’s the season of giving and receiving and I can't get over everyones exhausting need for commercialism...

During a season that should be about warm wishes and joyous beginnings you are surrounded by the vast need to buy, buy, buy...without thought or happiness just for the sake of finishing your list. I stood in a large retail store yesterday and there were people walking around in a daze in the toy department and all I could think was…what if we put all this energy and time into something focused on really giving something to your children, your husband/wife, and your family.

What if for every minute you spend in the mall, you make some time for those who mean the most to you. Take them for a walk, for lunch, for dinner or take them somewhere that they want to go.

The season is really not about what you exchange because lets face it, everything you get you could just buy for yourself. The only people I propose to buy something for this season is those I know under the age of 10 because really Santa is not able to service anyone over that age anyways, otherwise the North Pole and the Elves would be all under WSIB claims.

So I urge you, get together with those you love and buy them a hot chocolate and have a conversation with them, its those moments that you are unable to buy in any department store.

Happy Holidays…
