christmas, christmas christmas!!! hard to believe its already upon us again, like some great giant beast that has been curled up in a dark cave, silently waiting all year before springing out and body slamming you. Thank goodness I have my family with me to give this time its real meaning. I have to make sure my daughter understands how many people aren’t as lucky as we are, don’t have families and friends during the holidays… maybe we’ll go downtown and hand out dinners.
It really is such a time of reflection, end of the year and all, I have to focus on what the holidays really stand for, not just the consumer end, buy buy buy more more more, spend cash on more trash that neither you nor anyone else needs.But what about one smile for someone, even if you don;t particularly like them? Or not flipping out on someone who’s being rude? Helping your grandparents (or someone else’s. lol!). I don’t know, i just feel that Xmas and the holidays shouldn’t be about OURSELVES. About whether we’re happy or lonely or angry, but about OTHERS. Making sure your neighbor (or the closest thing to it) smiles today. Anyway, totally corny, but hey! We all survived the end of the world, so its a special year!
Yea, this time is incredible and full of great memories for some, but as an adult, i also know how painful it is for others.
Saying that, my family usually does our big shin dig on xmas eve and I want to post a vid and share a toast. Share a toast for and with all those that don’t have trees up, for those that can’t be with their families, for those that just don’t feel like it and wanna chill! Whatever! lol! i wanna make sure that if you have a phone or internet, we can share some holiday cheer and for you to know that you’re never truly alone. Have an incredible day! xo m
