I hate for my first post of the month to be a rant, but...
I get it.
You stopped giving Christmas gifts to make a point about consumerism. You're superior to everyone who still gives gifts.
I get it.
You and your family didn't exchange gifts this year because your children were acting ungrateful. You're superior to those of us who wouldn't take it that far, and your children will never behave in an ungrateful manner again.
I get it.
You bought your children four million gifts because it's only once a year and you want them to experience the magic of Christmas with a whole bunch of presents. You're superior to everyone who only gives a few gifts, for whatever their reasons are.
I get it.
You labeled all your small gifts from "Santa" and all the big gifts from, "Mom and Dad" in order to prevent the less wealthy children in your child's class at school from feeling like Santa discriminates against poor kids. Or something. You're superior to those of us who do it the other way around.
I get it. You don't do the Santa thing because it distracts from the true meaning of Christmas. You're superior, and more Christian, than anyone who lets their kids sit on Santa's lap.
Right? Because you deserve a great, big pat on the back for doing things the best way for yourself and your kids - you know, like families have done since the beginning of time, but now need validation from social media for.
Just be your own family and drop the sanctimony, please. Big gifts, small gifts, expensive gifts, cheap gifts, handmade gifts, no gifts, a million gifts, three gifts, one gift, two gifts, red gifts, blue gifts...none of it has to do with the baby in the manger and they're not what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
OK, rant over.
Peace and Blessings.
