NO TIME FOR XMAS TIME

Christmas time reminds us that it doesn't matter how hard the year has been for us, it's the time we spend together that's important. Where families take photos with Santa to remind them of the good that represents Christmas time. When is the line crossed between what we do for our family and what we do for ourselves, where forcing our kids to overcome their fear of the man with the white beard. Trying to convince ourselves to paint on a smile during a photo at a time where we feel we have nothing  to smile about because of the pressures that are forced upon us. Our true feelings fighting against showing patience when we are at our wits end with our families and friends during the busy Christmas shopping times and rushed events that lead us to Christmas day. Isn't our time as a family better represented as showing our true feelings on how we felt at the time we took the photo, something that will stick to our memories because of the raw emotion showed in the photograph. Our personalities that stand out and separate us from any other smiling photograph.
