I couldnt share this as such, but Ive cut and pasted it as it spoke sooo loudly to me! Courtesy of The Yarn Harlot (yarnharlot.ca). I am not going to let the way things are marketed to me shift the way I think Christmas should be, by wool. I am not going to be tricked into thinking that I’m not doing it right, that I didn’t buy people big enough presents, or that I need to buy them more for them to be happy. I am not going to be convinced that this family needs to dress differently, value different things, or stop baking our own cookies, and giving little kids books as presents. No matter how this season is presented at that place, their goal is to make me feel bad enough about what I have that I give them all my money so I can have better stuff, and therefore be happier. I will keep it in my mind the whole time I am there that I am not unhappy because I don’t have that stuff. I am unhappy because I am in a mall.
