Christmas - What does it mean to you?

Most people consider Christmas to be one of the best times of the year. Singing Christmas carols, decorating the Christmas tree, beautiful snow covered trees, and spending time with the family. Although these wonderful thoughts are what most people think about during Christmas, not everyone can have such a great feeling this time of year.

Many people begin to get very stressed out and short tempered during the holiday's because of everything going on. People begin to worry about finances as they are having to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on gifts for everyone they know, they begin to feel overwhelmed by the mass crowds that seem to be at every store they go to, and to top it all off they have to make the entire house look spotless in order to have the whole family over for Christmas and prepare enough food to feed a small army.

Christmas is meant to be a happy time to spend with friends and family but often times becomes just to much to handle and all the Christmas spirit goes right out the window. Have you ever become so overwhelmed that you just wanted to call the whole thing off and tell everyone to just leave you alone?
