Is this bragging about Christmas?

I saw this post scrolling through my Facebook feed. Basically it says you should think before posting pictures of your full Christmas tree.

You should take into consideration the people who aren’t as lucky.

How do you feel about this message? Do you think people should stay humble and not share their joy or is this in the spirit of jealousy and we are just coddling people by not posting?

Tell me your thoughts.

I don't get why someone should calm their happiness because someone might feel bad.. The fact that people can see someone succeed and actually ask them to not show it is crazy to me.. If they wanna post pics, post pics, if someone gets butt-hurt over it, then just don't go on social media.. I grew up poor, and saw other people having more than me, never made me mad at them, just made me want to get there one day^^

@SW-User I agree with you Cass. If things like this are bothering you that badly then stay off social media.

I don’t post a picture of my tree like that but I am not going to edit my joy because celebrating with my family may hurt someone’s feelings because they have less. I grew up poor too so I get it.
