merry christmas (keep the bleeping receipt)

christmas is here, but did we keep the Christ?

hopefully though i think some of you only kept your receipt

of samsung galaxy gear smartwatches, air jordans, and of course, xbox one gaming systems.

if this is what our holiday has become then i want no part of it

because i need Christ in mine - and everyday for the rest of

my life.

the receipt will only last a few days - or until the item is either used or returned to kohls or lacoste or

wherever.

who am i to critique when i want that big green egg from congo fireplace & patio and

twenty-two inch rims (and new window tint) for my thirteen-year-old escape xlt and the outdoor kitchen of

my dreams?

i am a retail whore...and workaholic, as you already know, but i need a moment to remember what it was

like back in those days

without the twenty-four hour wal-mart and walgreens

when dad and mom only gave us what we absolutely needed and booted us off the

nintendo to go to church and say our speeches and then go see granddaddy and grandma.

oh what simpler times.

am i appreciative of it all? you better believe i'm grateful for my blue collar, git-er-done roots!

somewhere i got lost along the way and forgot that christmas is more than the bleeping receipt -

y'all can keep that.

have a merry christmas and remember to keep Christ in your holiday!
