This week's wisdom quote is one I have seen on a few Christmas sites & all take credit for it .. no matter who said it first, I think it's a very good reminder especially since I also read that 6 out of 10 Christmas shoppers are trying to out-gift their friends or family members. To me that is very sad.
It is
A celebration
Not
A competition
I hear this as a call to look at what the season means. It's sad that people use this to try to one-up each other :(
ReplyDeleteVery true!
ReplyDeleteHappy to report that I am one of the 4 out of 10 that don't! It is a shame that sometimes the true meaning of Christmas is lost.
ReplyDeleteOut gifting? What a horrible concept!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of out-gifting, and it sounds horrible. Uppermost in my mind when choosing a gift is making sure it is something that will be used/enjoyed by the receiver. That is all! (However, if anyone wants to shower me with a fleet of yachts and priceless jewels, they can go right ahead!!! Hehehehe...!)
