Felling Better

Hey Everyone,

Knowing that the holidays are only a few days away starting with Thanksgiving and ending with the start of the New Year.  I love the Holidays I get filled with a love for everything around me my friends, family, my home and and just being a live to see all  the beautiful decorations.  Yes I know it's cold outside and the weather usually isn't that nice ya know kinda cloudy and an icy breeze blowing through you and chilling you to the bone. 

But its those very reasons that make winter wonderful, you stay in doors by the fire wrapped in blankets drinking coco with marshmallows and eggnog and eating cookies or popcorn as you watch holiday movies that touch you in your heart and soul like how the Grinch discovered the true meaning of Christmas. 

Yes I know there are the Scrooges and Grinches that have negative views about the holidays and the weather and try not to see the little things that mean so much.  I love winter time cause the skies are so clear and the stars shine so brightly and I love the decorations and the Christmas lights.  And having our fiber-optic tree up which has fake snow and red berries with pine cones fixed to it's branches so it looks so christmacy and out doorsey wtih golden/white fiber-optics going through it making it glow as if the sun was shinning on it or through it. 

I love watching the presents build up under the tree even when they are not for me cause they are little parcels of love and joy.  I love giving hugs and singing to the Holiday music.  I enjoy helping to plan the family get togethers an the presents.  Sometimes my family has me do a ventriloquism routine Christmas eve before present swapping( though secretly I know they don't really enjoy it just cause I'm good at being funny on the Internet but in real life my jokes are not that funny.  )

I've heard my cousin brad and his wife won't be here for thanksgiving they are going to her folks even though they live in the same town and probably see them all the time and we only get to see them on holidays so To me it's very unfair and because they are not going to be here Thursday my aunt and mom decided to keep Thanksgiving on a small scale ya know not go way out since they won't be here which kinda hurts my feelings ya know.  Like its not worth having fun and putting our hearts into a feast and the time together just because they weren't going to be there like we don't matter ya know.  I know its just being silly, but I believe people should put put their heart and souls into special days like Thanksgiving and especially Christmas. 

I've already started listening to my Christmas music and watching some of my favorite Christmas movies to help get me in the spirit of Christmas.  Christmas fills me with such a love that just warms me up inside and I just want to sing and spread the love to everyone I meet.  Not everyone feels as I do and I don't understand why people think such wonderful times together should be small and simple and not going full out with music and decorations and laughter the things they should be instead of using it to talk about depressing things like politics and the war etc. 

We went to Wal-mart to get groceries and stuff for thanksgiving they were playing Christmas music and there were decorations and boxes of cookies and chocolates and shelves of gift ideas like gift cards, stuffed animals, jewelry, toys and lists of things coming in soon like CDs and DVDs and they even had a display of old Christmas videos on DVD like the old  Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa Clause is Coming to Town and loads of other movies that I loved in my childhood.  And some new ones I'd never heard of like the Christmas Shoes and the Christmas Blessing and A Boyfriend For Christmas and Single Santa Seeks Mrs.  Clause.  All Wonderful movies (dad bought them him and his DVD obsessions lol) I've watched a couple of them today like right now I'm watching the Muppet's Christmas Carol a very cute movie and I love the music in it.  Specially the song " If Feels like Christmas" 

I'm still worried about my Health Care Statistics test on Monday and then my Codding Test on Tuesday so please keep praying for me, but still it's kind hard to worry about such things when you're filled with the Christmas Spirit.  I hope you all are filled with the Christmas Spirit and if you are not then I shall be praying for you that you will find that special love and feeling that should be year round but most people only have it once a year and only share it with others once a year if we shared it every minute of everyday then Christmas wouldn't be a one time thing it would be All year long and the world would be a happier place for all. 

 

" Wherever  you find love, it feels like Christmas. 

It's a season of the heart a special time of caring,

the ways of love made clear.

It is the season of the spirit, the message if we hear it,

is make it last all year."
