We all know we should resist unhealthy choices and unwise financial decisions. Overindulgence in what we take into our bodies and overspending beyond our means can cause big problems. We need to strengthen our resolve to do what is right for ourselves and our families. Temptation seems to increase this time of year as part of Christmas celebrations. Advertising aimed at adults and children, store decorations, music, and "sales," all put on the pressure to buy happiness.
We all want Santa to bring our kids new toys, but we need to help children realize that happiness is not measured by how much is under the Christmas tree. Adults need to consider that giving and getting gifts may be a part of tradition that needs to be reevaluated.
Realize the holiday pressure for what it is. Merchants want your money whether you can afford it or not. Show your love and joy in a responsible way. Resist the temptation to buy happiness.
