You know who they are. They are like the unwanted in-laws who invade your home during the holidays. They come in the form of television commercials on kids programs. They come with tons of glitz and glitter for all the new gadgets.
Then the MUST HAVES invade your home like stinky little cousins with dirty hands and poor table manners. They come and fill your place with garbage and slime the house with their messy ways. You chase after them hoping that you can get them under control, and even a time out by standing in the corner cannot correct them. They are still there as a constant reminder. The only way to fix it is to buy into their nasty behavior and get what 'They' want.
Then come the 'Wouldn't it be Nice' nieces who ballet around the house with a wisp and a dream. These nasty little creatures act like pie'd pipers and get your once happy family members prancing around with hopes and dreams of something big and expensive or expansive.
The problem is that is not what CHRISTMAS is all about. I almost wish I had a log cabin out in the woods just to get away from all the nonsense. Just to spend out of the influence of all this seasonal stuff.
How do you handle the wants, the must haves, and the wouldn't it be nices?
