Woman repents by replacing stolen baby Jesus

Guilty Feel You Christmas

I don't think the title of this thread exactly matches the tone of the article. The article is more about a 'happy' story of a woman who replaced a stolen baby Jesus figurine or a family who had a really rough go of it this year, but the title makes it sound like it should be an article about how depressing the holidays are. I do feel a bit guilty around Christmas, but that is mostly because I have so many family members to see and it stresses me out, making me not want to see them. I would perfectly happy to stay home and not visit anyone, but then that thought makes me feel guilty because I don't get to see them very often and this is one time a year that everyone has time off and makes an effort to see each other.

I also admit that the title pf this thread did make me consider other things to feel guilty about during the holidays, where instead I found a strange little article about someone else that felt guilty about stealing a baby Jesus figurine?

Of any case, I have often felt guilty during Christmas, particularly during the years that I wasn't able to actually give any gifts to others even though they gave to me. Growing up this this was something that they really did bother me, at least most of the time.

Sometimes I was able to push this paid off quickly when I became an adult the feeling became stronger and stronger. Which is actually where I'm happy to say in the last two Christmases I have actually given gifts even if they were not much. More, I've actually made the goal that each year I try to give what I can more and more during the holiday.

Well I don't know. She has been feeling the guilt of what she did and every Christmas it probably made her remember what she did I think that's why its titled that way.

Fair enough, there's no arguing that. Of course, there is the consideration can still be given why'd she take it in the first? Definitely an odd thing to steal is it not?
