Its the most, wonderful time, of the year...
- Hey guys, its me again. Anyway i come now to talk to you about the holiday season, one of the best times of the year. Or is it?
Anyway, I always used to love Christmas, and for that matter New Years Eve. I always hung out at my friend's house, snowball fights, waking up early for opening the presents, but now I don't feel that magic anymore, the holiday season is just dead to me.
Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but nowadays I can't really get into the "holiday" mood.
It probably has something to do with me moving. Some of you may know I moved recently to Minnesota a few months ago. You see, now in my new neighborhood, they aren't any kids so I can't really go to anybone's house. Not to sound like a brat or anything, but this year since all the kids in the family are older, my parents gave us a budget for how much they are going to spend. We even got a fake tree this year.
And to top it all off, for some very strange reason, our neighborhood isn't even allowed to put up Christmas lights.
Now, I know the TRUE meaning of Christmas isn't about the presents, the snowball fights, the Christmas lights, or even the Christmas tree. It is about the birth of Jesus, and giving.
Now as I type this, I am trying to get my point across, so I hope SOMEONE out there will understand me, but what made Christmas real to ME was the Christmas lights, the snowball fights, and the tree.
Don't get me wrong, I go to church regularly, and DO believe in Jesus.
I guess its not so much as CHRISTMAS that is different but the Holiday Season that surrounds it.
So I guess, this year I am not going to have "The most wonderful time."

I lost the Christmas spirit for a few years back in my late teens and early twenties.....it was having children that sparked it up big time again. Obviously kids are still far away off for you, so I hope that you can create that spirit again in your fantasies of snowball fights and lights on the houses in your imagination.
