The Middle is one of the best shows on this planet. It portrays one of those families that just makes your family look so loving, and organized. Just recently I watched the Christmas episode. The family was trying to have a "simple christmas." Obviously the three kids were not very happy about that. An orange was what sparked this because during the great depression, most kids only received an orange for Christmas. I still get an orange and an apple every year from my great grandma every year for christmas, and this eplisode was a nice reminder of what those fruits represent.
Personally I don't think a simple christmas sounds that bad, our family has decided to stop exchanging gifts between our aunts and uncles, and cousins, because we just get too much stuff, and we don't have room for them. Gifts are way more appreciated if there are fewer of them. This year I've tried to buy things with a little more sentimental value.
I feel like as we've gotten older, my family has realized that there is so much more to Christmas than presents, it has now become a tradition to play charades with my very competitive family every year at one of my grandma's houses. At another we sing christmas carols and play in the snow.
I guess what I'm saying is that we can learn a lesson from TV. Okay maybe that's not what I'm saying, maybe I'm saying nothing, or saying everything, I don't really know. I was just kind of in a sentimental mood I guess, so you received my gushy christmas story.
