The Priceless Butterfly

It was a simple Barbie Doll. A Maraposa (butterfly) doll. Why would Santa promise a little 4 year old this simple gift and then not deliver. What is a parent to do. Yes. Plan ahead. Make sure your relative is purchasing the gift. Oh, strike one. I know, let us order it ourselves just to make sure it is here on time. Oh, Strike two. Back ordered. There is not going to be a strike three. No way am i going to let this promise of a simple Barbie Maraposa Doll going to take away a dream of a well behaved little girl. A princess that Santa promised this simple gift. Time to take charge. Amazon. Here is my money for the doll, and double the price so i get it in 24 hours. Hallelujah !The magical Santa Helper, Mr. Fed Ex. He arrives as to present himself on a majestic horse. Santa's reputation has been saved. Barbie is in the building.
Yes it was a simple gift. Yes it was not cheap. But it was priceless.

Christmas

I think Charlie Brown knew what he was talking about. Comercialism. Do we really need the stuff we ask for? Christmas is a time where to many people have forgot its true purpose. Our church does not have service on Christmas. Why? The one day we should all be at church and no church. Oh yes, we are at home opening those presents that the comercials made it look good for us to buy. Oh don't get me wrong, i want the gifts. Why should i be deprived the lack of recieving my comercialism present. Let us all stop. Take a minute to remember what Christmas is. After that enjoy your gifts. It is what we should do, right?
