Chritsmas According to Davis

As we slip into the winter season here at Davis, many people are eagerly anticipating a visit from Mr. Claus; but some are still reluctant to give in early to the season.
“Christmas is a fun time of year, the atmosphere is cool,” said Zander Nash, a senior, when asked about the holiday season. However, not everyone is as excited for the season as Nash is. “Christmas is all right, but the season is completely overrated,” grumbled Dan Credits, senior. Having changed thoroughly over the years, it could be said that Christmas has become a tad too commercialized lately. When asked whether or not he thought most people have lost the true meaning of Christmas, Nash comments “I wouldn’t say most.” According to Nash, there are some people that have lost the meaning of the season. Rather than “Serving, loving, giving, and a little getting,” as Nash has described, some people see nothing but presents. “That’s all people want nowadays, more gifts, more stuff. I bet people intentionally get on the naughty list, just to see how much coal they can get,” stated Credits. According to that, than most people today feel that getting into trouble is fun, just to see how much trouble they can get into. It’s all about getting.
Other people just want Christmas to go back to the way it used to be, but some can’t stand the old ways at all. There should be some middle ground. “I don’t think that people should go back to the old ways, I like Christmas, just as long as they keep the true meaning in mind. I think its fun to get stuff, but it’s also fun to serve,” stated Nash. The true meaning of Christmas should be kept in mind though. “It’s about being kind, loving, serving, and overall being selfless,” sighed Nash.
