Selfish christmas??

Well Christmas is around the corner and is by far my favourite season of the year. Was talking to my sis one day and getting her opinion on whether i should get a new phone or not and it came down to it being a need or a want. Then it struck me that christmas is actually a very selfish festical, coz "All I want for Christmas is..." Christmas carols talk about wants and not needs!!! To add on to this, friends always ask "What do you want for Christmas?" So christmas has turned into a "What I want season" !!

On the other hand, I would definately want someone to buy me something that I want instead of something that I need. Well, the difference between a need and a want would mean getting a wallet from topshop vs a coach wallet. So I think you get what I mean.

I aint complaining bout getting wonderful presents and how wonderful christmas is. Its just that we need to take time off to be grateful for whatever extras we are getting this christmas, coz its ultimately what we want and not what we need :)
