Our obession with *stuff*

This morning I posted a comment on a facebook page where people were talking about how the parking lots at Walmart and other stores were FULL for Canadian Black Friday sales.  My comment was " I can't believe how greedy people are with things, maybe we should all be sent to a 3rd world country and see if that would change society ways of thinking"
WOWZERS did I ever get thrown under the bus on this page... The negative comments just started pouring in on my post. Now I am not saying I am ANY better then these people. I'm not I am just obsessed with stuff as much as other people. So next time I will clarify my comment more and state I am thinking of the people that load their carts with toys and things they don't need.
This year has been life changing for us due to Quinn's health problems. It really puts things into perspective for us. Stuff isn't important even though I do like stuff. ( Like my Keurig which was an early Christmas present from Kevin and kids). I am all for saving money and getting great deals. But do kids really need another toy ? Do we really need that other Tv ?
I challenge everyone this Christmas to really think of stuff and how much we buy and give. I know this year I will be doing a lot of homemade gifts ( sorry people if you don't like homemade lol) because home made gifts mean so much more to me. Our kids will get 1 toy each and 1 clothing item from Kevin and I.
We are so blessed to live here in Canada were we have heat,water,food and way more possessions when we could ever need.
What is important to you this Christmas ? Also what are you Thankful for ?
We have so much to be thankful for and I pray we all can see that more and realize what is important in life :)
