Spend

You spend your whole life accumulating stuff, and then you have no where to put it.

Everywhere you can see it, every store now has it on display ~ Christmas. More importantly stuff. Stuff for your pets, stuff for your kitchen, and stuff for every Who down in Whoville. Stuff is everywhere packaged in red and marked to sell.

If you were wondering what I might want for Christmas ~ stuff is not on my list. Those that live in close proximity to us know what in our house might be in disrepair or broken and needs replacing. Something new in for something old out of the house I will tolerate. As for the rest of ~ what I want for Christmas is a letter, including photos would be like the beautiful bow on the package.

If you must spend, then spend your time working for your community, spend your energy for someone in your area who could use a helping hand and spend your life being of service to your fellow brothers and sisters.

Remember less is more. Do not spend your life gathering stuff only in the end to have a house so full that there is no where for me to sit and visit with you.
