Christmas
It's Christmas time! This year I haven't really gotten that excited about Christmas...It just seemed to sneak up out of nowhere...And it just doesn't feel very Christmassey...The weather's been pretty normal, not really cold so it just doesn't feel like winter. As commercialized as it is, I still love Christmas. For me it's not about what I'm gonna open on Christmas day...I think I am too old for that. But it's about showing people how important they are. It's about seeing the joy in life.These last few weeks at work have been *incredible*. Up until last week we had never been busier, and although we were working like crazy, and sometimes working 10 hours straight without lunch, it was still the most fun I have ever had in work. Everyone just seems to be in better moods, we all laugh, we all goof around, we all play practical jokes on one another (haha I am the one who started that trend in the office!) I like being reminded of the good in the world. I like when you get a million cards from a hundred different places, from people you've forgotten about. It's nice to be reminded that people care about you...Even if it's only at Christmas time. I am looking forward to a few days off work over Christmas...But not because I'm sick of it. I realized today after work that I like my job. I like how I can make something so bland be full of laughter and fun...I like how we're so secure with one another that we can laugh at each other, and ourselves.
I guess everyone just seems to be warmer during Christmas. Streets are lit up with decorations, apartment and house windows have Christmas trees and lights that flood a glow into the sky...It's nice. So that is what Christmas is about for me. Not presents, not even the birth of Christ (sorry...), it's about happiness. It's about showing people that you love, that you care, it's about feeling some indescribable warmth surging through you when you see someone laugh, someone smile, someone happy...Someone infected with Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas :)

I have to say that I'm totally apathetic to Christmas this year. I've never been a really big fan of it - mainly because I asked for a dog for like 13 straight years, and never got one :P Haha, but yeah, I'm guessing it's because this year I haven't
A) watched any T.V. except for hockey - so I haven't been exposed to all the 'Christmas cheer' on T.V.
B) I've spent the past month writing papers and studying for exams almost non-stop - which means I haven't been out and about in the city at all - so I haven't been exposed to the Christmassy atmosphere in the city.
C) I'm so broke that I told all my friends and family that I can't afford to buy them anything this year - so I haven't gone to any of the malls or shopping at all. Hell, I'm not even going to have enough to pay the bills :P Time to tap into the bank of mom and dad
D) I've been so preoccupied with my own shit all semester I haven't really thought about anything else. I haven't even really sociallized with too many people either - so I haven't gotten into the Christmas spirit.
Meh, oh well. I'm not Christian, so what does it even mean? Just another Hallmark day.
