Let's be honest about the holiday season

I have always been a Grinch at Christmas because of the way our consumer society has turned it into a Retailers Selling Frenzy!

I have to admit now that we have two granddaughters we do enjoy seeing them open and play with their gifts. My wife and I always buy gifts that are essentials in terms of clothing or education. Books, Books, Books, lots of books. Our grand children love to read, Thank God.

Too bad we have lost the "reason for the season"
