Christmas

English 101 Christmas <Tab/>I bet, we all could remember a special time of the year, when the smell of pine trees fill the air, and the aroma of mama's, freshly baked apple pie glazed the air, and our stomachs became filled with anticipation. The sound of bells rang, ding-dong -ding-dong, and the sound of young children eagerly ripping through brightly colored wrapping paper. The lights hang high and low all over …

…fantasies of a big fat man making his way into my home (that had no chimney) and leaving all my hearts desire under that big green pine tree. From early childhood the media installs in us the fantasy of self-indulging, the idea that love is expressed by the amount of money or possessions you own. The original idea of Christmas has always been about serving or doing something only to receive something from someone else.
