Christmas angel
I was in the 2nd grade when I found out that Santa Claus was not real. The fact that Santa Claus was not real did not upset me that much. What upset me was that I realized my mother and father had been lying to me for years! I felt deceived. This practice/tradition of an imaginary figure named Santa continues as a “normal” thing to do each year. Few people actually know or even look at the reason why this tradition continues like it does. Young children are continually told, “you better be good because Santa Claus is watching”, and “If your not good your not going to get any presents for Christmas”! Young children are also continually asked, “what do you want for Christmas” or “what is Santa Claus bringing you this year”? Yes, this is normal and accepted by most people, but it does not mean that it is the best thing for a child to be taught. Children are also told that anyone that goes against the traditional practice of Christmas is a scrooge!

Don’t let your ego run wild and start judging my words, just hear me out. I’m not some radical that is calling for an end to Christmas. I’m just going to give you something to think about.

Nearly everything in our environment has karma. By participating in something you contribute to the karma of it. A good example of this is the lottery, and something I have recently learned about. The lottery is a tax that feeds off of the weak. It’s no coincidence that the majority of the proceeds for the lottery come from people who earn lower incomes. You may think “what’s the harm in buying a lottery ticket every once in awhile”? Well we live in a “free will” world, if you feel like you want to then do it, but there are consequences, for everything you do. When you make a decision to do something it is like a vote. Every vote you cast adds to the creation of your reality. The lottery is not a glamorous great thing. The karma of the lottery is filled with loss, desperation, false hopes, lack of, and tons of sadness from all of the people that never win! The simple act of buying a lottery ticket is your vote and that you knowingly approve of everyone else’s loss. This conscious act or vote also energetically ties you to the karma of the lottery.

So what does the lottery have to do with Christmas! I wanted to give an example of how karma works. Now lets look at the karma of Christmas.

Christmas has traditionally been about celebrating the birth of Jesus or Hanukkah, but over the years these religious traditions have been overshadowed by the consumerism of the “holiday”. Christmas has turned into another tax on the people. It has been beautifully scripted to feed off of your weaknesses. The propaganda of Christmas now starts around mid November. The radio stations start playing only Christmas music and the commercials start on TV. The buying frenzy starts. It is projected that $26.3 Billion dollars worth of gift cards will purchased this holiday season. Out of this almost 8 billion dollars will not be redeemed! 8 Billion! This is only gift cards and does not include all of the other stuff that people receive and never use. People buy and give knowing that the person they are giving to may not ever use it. It’s like your a zombie, saying here you go master. You have no idea why your giving but you do it anyway.

I’ve got an idea. Stop holding the fear of loss over our children’ s heads and tell them the truth about Santa from the start. This act of deceit only teaches them that it is ok to deceive other people. The children only do what they learn from their parents. If you want to change the world you have to start by teaching the young to trust and love. Stop asking them what they are “getting” for Christmas and start teaching them to “give” for Christmas!

Stop giving to only give, and feeling guilty because you did not spend enough money on someone. It is the thought and the love in a gift, not how much it costs or quantity. The person your giving to is not doing this judging you are judging yourself! It is the ego that produces this judgment and guilt.

Stop asking everyone you see if they are ready for Christmas. Of course they are not ready for Christmas it just ended a few months ago! This continued pressure to fit in and pier pressure is the reason all this continues. When someone gets asked the same question over and over it is a form of brain washing. You do not know any different, everyone else is doing it so it must be all right. Instead start asking everyone you see, to what charitable institution that they will be giving to this year.

If you connect with Jesus then do what Jesus does best and give without expecting anything in return. If you have money and want to buy something, then buy something that will actually make a difference in someones life. Buy a cow for a family in Indonesia and tell everyone in your family that this was their Christmas gift. Sure it may be a shock to your family and friends. By doing this you are casting your vote for a new world and your vote “does” make a difference.

Lets change the Karma of Christmas from a time of “receiving” to a time of “giving” without expectation of return. Make a difference with the money you spend and most importantly give your “time”. Go to your local homeless shelter or area and spend time spreading your love and gifts with the people that need them the most.

You may have already purchased a bunch of worthless stuff already this year, but it is ok. It is never to late to do anything! The propaganda of Christmas is only 10 months away. Until then you can start practicing this new way of living. Try loving everyone you see without expecting any love in return! This is true freedom and it makes every day of your life like Christmas morning!

Some of you may be saying, I work hard for my money and I should be able to spend it how ever I want. Yes that is true, but as I said with the karma of the lottery. You have free will, do as you please but there are consequences for ever action you take. For every worthless present that you buy contributes to the overall karma of the season whether you like it or not. If you want the world to change, you have to change! 8 Billion dollars of unclaimed gift cards could go a long way to feeding the hungry of the world.

Your vote is needed, Love like you have never loved before and do not expect anything in return! anything in return! anything in return! anything in return! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

My way of brain washing!

Merry Christmas to you my brothers and sisters. I love you no matter if you call me a scrooge.
