Tribune Chronicle |   It is Christmas time, which is the holiest
time of the year, but you'd never know it by the way shoppers

don't want to upset anyone so the Nativity, which often was

clerks in stores aren't permitted to wish a "Merry Christmas." I
think people have lost all perspective and common sense. I grew

family who gathered to just enjoy each other. Each year more and
more people are buying more "stuff" and each year we lose what
the true meaning of Christmas is all about. It is shameful.

who makes a fortune. Wh
