i LOVE Christmas!

I love Christmas! There always something about the colors, the lights, the tree, the ornaments, the people’s joy, the songs, the carols, the cooking & baking, the presents..ooh don’t we loooove the presents when we were kids, the only morning of the year where you CANT wait to get up as early as you’re allowed to just to rush down to that overly-decorated tree and go on a rip-wrapper-rampage, hug your parents after they watch you squeal in presents-joy with happy glistening eyes, enjoy some hot chocolate before they hustle you out the door in your best looking outfits for church…

As we age, Christmas hits us a lil differently. It aint just about presents anymore, it aint just about decorating that tree til its on the verge of ornament explosion, it aint just about singing that Rudolf song while stuffing your face with Christmas cookies… As we age, people we love and care for may not always be by our side very often until this very holiday brings us back together…the whole year filled with negatives of bickering somehow seems to vanish on a magically forgiving day…but what happens when you have distance preventing you from seeing your loved ones when they are the ones you would give anything to share with the most?...

The tradition of putting up the tree seem less meaningful…The songs aint bringing joy to the ears no more but more of tears to the eyes…putting your heart out cooking and baking and it being received with a local mentality pretty much kills any spirit you have left in you…Christmas shopping seems more like a chore than the joyous act of giving…

Is it because of the lack of enthusiasm you’re surrounded with out here during this holiday, where its just another day you get outta work? Is it because of our teachings and our ways out here that just kills the meaning of Christmas as the years go by where we only celebrate to impress others?

Perhaps im going thru this….phase? No… a reality check? No…. emo-ing? Maybe…perhaps….

I guess I just miss HOME…

Debating on putting up a tree...even though it will be empty of pressies and ppl sitting around it...i'd still love a tree.....hmmmmm

Seems to get harder every year, going thru Christmas without Mother and the family gathering I miss so much back Home…

But life goes on, grin and bear, make the best out of it…

Yes…That is the spirit I WILL have….and Share with my boys

I still Love Christmas and the joyful sights, the joyful songs and the joyful faces of my loved ones...

Ya cant kill my Christmas spirit!!!
