Christmas is always a melancholy time for me. I think I've always struggled with the fact that I really love the whole materialism aspect of the holiday, but I also see it as being very wrong. When I'm stressed out trying to find the right gift or worried that someone is spending too much on me, that's when I stop feeling the beautiful Christmas spirit. What's depicted in this image is exactly what I fear the most.
Christmas should be about the moments you get to spend with each other. It's become more about the presents, so that once the presents are over, there's nothing left of the holiday. Even though you have all these new, nice things, you're still left feeling the same emptiness. She's looking good in that lingerie though. I'm glad she's getting good use out of it.
