Christmas...is a time of giving?

Christmas is a time of sharing,
Christmas is a time of joy.
So why is it this year, I don't feel much of it?

I guess most of it is the terrible disaster happening in Asia right now. For those that haven't heard, or aren't aware...shame on you. There was a huge earthquake a few days ago that led to massive tsunamis in Indonesia, India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and even Somalia. Can you believe that? Somalia. The death toll stands at 77K as of now, but is projected to be over 100K. To put that in perspective, 9/11 only had 3000 casualties. But you know, since it isn't on American soil, we don't hear much about it. It's so pathetic to read that the States is sending 35 Freaking Million dollars as aid...wow. 35Mil...their Powerball lotteries regularly top that amount!!!
