'tis the Season!
Christmas trees and lights everywhere, holiday songs ringing in your ears, T.V. Commercials, snow after thanksgiving!
A season of Joy, memories of home and family, good days and hard times, personal memories mixed up with world events, Christmas gifts from those special people in your life. LOTS AND LOTS of shopping and lots of hearty food too :)
It’s the Holiday season all over again…
Back to the snow after thanksgiving! It’s been snowing for the past two days, icy roads everywhere, schools canceled AND to add to the list I have been sick, & as a result I’ve been staying home sweet home :)…So being bored at home and looking out the window at the white…. everything! lol I looked back at last Holiday season. A river of memories just flooded my thoughts; I smiled at some and frowned upon others.
It made me realize that certain things will/might happen, though we don’t necessarily want them to
· Some people will let us down, and we’ll let others down
· We will break hearts and will have our hearts broken, probably more than once; and each time will be harder.
· We’ll fight with or lose someone we love
· We’ll blame others for things they didn’t do and will get blamed as well
· We’ll cry because time is passing too fast or because we regret certain things/actions.
· We will stress over problems, either work, school, family or relationships
But also good things will/might happen, like…
· Getting closer with our families and friends or,
· Mending a broken friendship/relationship
· Starting a new life somewhere new
· Making new friends or,
· Hanging out with good friends or loved ones.
· May be meeting someone special.
· Receiving a favorite Xmas gift.
· Or even enjoying this delicious hot chocolate cup on a cold winter night!
I am just thankful for everything I’ve been through whether it’s good or bad. Because it means I have a home and family that love me. It means I interact with people; I smile, laugh, cry, and play.
It means I feel cold and warm, frightened and safe, happy and sad, hurt and loved, sick and well…
It means I get up every morning with a new chance to do something different…
It means I’m still ALIVE!
So live life to the fullest and enjoy the season :)
Happy Holidays everybody…

i'm not really refering to the celebrations, but rather the feel of the season.
and holidays includes everything :).. besides some people don't celebrate Christmas.

i'm not questioning what you are referring to in your article, I thought it was great food for though:).
however, It is in-fact Christmas trees, lights, songs, Gifts & joy. the joy of the birth of CHRIST the savior, that made all of it possible.
shouldn't we use the word CHRISTMAS with out having to offend any one?

you got me there :)... i didn't think of it as offending anybody, rather that xmas for some people is not a religious occasion, it's more of a get together, parties and presents, so saying merry xmas wouldnt hold the meaning you're referring to.
one more thing is that, not everybody celebrates Christmas on the 25th...
living here for quite a while got me used to saying happy holidays instead of christmas as well :)
also, would u be kind enough to write ur initials ? or let me know who u are :)
thanks

I loved the way you ended everything, with all those feelings and emotions. I think sometimes with all the harships we go through we may forget that we're lucky to be able to enjoy everything while we have a great home and family/friends that love us no matter what. Reading your blog was a great thing to wake up to this morning :)
