Have you Noticed?

Holiday traditions going by the wayside. I was at the outlet mall on Black friday. very few people in sight. We used to get the holiday sale fliers in the Thursday paper. No more. No more Christmas cards either.

Makes me kind of sad. Have you noticed anything going away that you miss?

It's not the shops, or mad rush to buy things that I miss
As young boy Our family of six siblings a father and mother did not have much ,
Our house had no bathroom, but had running water, electricity and enough to eat..
All our doors were unlocked . If someone called all they is knock and enter,
If a homeless person called, they would be put and fed and at Christmas time people went extra mile to help one another,
That's mostly all gone now
