Deck the Halls: The Snowthy Edition

[D'Snowth]

For those of you who haven't heard, Deck the Halls is a new holiday movie starring Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick as two neighbors who are in competition with each other to have the most Christmas lights and decorations on their house, "I want my house to be seen from space" is what one of them is aiming for as a matter of fact. Well, I'm actually experiencing the same thing kind of: my mom is suddenly in competition with a neighbor in our cul-de-sac to have the most lights and decorations on their houses; in fact anytime my mom sees her putting up more lights or something then she has my dad to get outside and put more lights up for us, and I notice when that happens, the neighbor is always kind of eye-balling us. "I want to be the Queen of the Cul-De-Sac" is what my mom keeps saying but I don't see what the big deal is: all my life my mom has said the one thing she doesn't like about Christmas is all of the commercialism that's put into to make Christmas a bigger deal, but now here she is trying to have the most decorated house in the cul-de-sac!

Wow. Your house must be getting quite a sight to see.
I went on the annual Christmas Lights tour last night and I always enjoy them.
Don't worry about your mother Snowthy. People can change their attitudes about things. Maybe she doesn't even realize she's contradicting herself because she's been completely enraptured by the spirit of friendly competition and the beauty of the decorations.

Christmas Commercialism has gone rediculous over the years, people truely forget the real meaning of Christmas and why it's even here. People get to wrapped up with lights and not wrapped up with the true spirit of it all. But it's pretty crazy how people can debate over who's lights are better.

Some people THINK they know what the real meaning of Christmas is, they usually either answer "the presents" or "the tree".

If Jesus Christ had never existed there wouldn't be any Christmas today at all.

Well sadly Marty, so many people these days think Jesus never existed and that Christmas is simply a holiday about presents and a tree.

Exactlly, I laugh at those christmas specials who say that the meaning of christmas is important, but they completely blow it off, thats how our society is today.

So very true. To many people it's just a holiday to celebrate the upcoming new year and if anything they think that the Christian Churches merely choose to celebrate the so-called birth of their Lord and Redeemer on it.
