Almost Here

The holiday's have gotten here faster this year, than they seemed to back when I was younger.  I am not feeling the Christmas spirit this year as in the past, either.  I feel that I've lost the spirit of giving, with the way the government has put us in such financial turmoil.  I see the shelter's and food banks full and realize that many are without during this season.  Although it's been that way for many years, it seems even more paramount this year.  I don't feel the fun of the "Christmas" season and the spirit is just not in me.  This "scrooge" feeling has me depressed and I don't like it.
