Busy streets are the last thing that I
want to deal with when the holiday season comes. It all a bunch of grumpy
people trying to get their last minutes shopping done. When running into someone
in a store you don’t get, “Oh sorry for bumping into you, merry Christmas!” it
is more like, “Watch where you’re going!”
People do not get that Christmas is not
about what you buy or the deals that you get, it is coming home from a busy day
at work and having a family that you love to make your day seem great even if
it wasn’t. They just put a smile on your face the minute that you walk through the
door, and you can’t help but to just be happy.
When Christmas is mentioned, what pops
into the back of your head is “I can’t wait to see all of the presents under
the tree!” When what should really pop into your head is, “I cannot wait to
spend time with the people I love and all of the delicious food that I enjoy
making with my family.” This is what really matters during the holiday season.
Christmas Eve is when all of the little
kids cozy up with their parents and watch all of the Christmas movies that they
can find. It is a day where kids from college remember the days when they were
home all day. And last but not least, is it a day of relaxation for the parents
who are tired from working almost every day of the week.
For little kids, Christmas day is the day
when you wake up and see the snow piled up on the ground, and you go pounce on
brothers and sisters to wake them up so that the day can continue although
sometimes they are too stubborn to get up. For teens, Christmas is a day of
sleeping in until noon until someone drags them out of bed. Now for parents on
the other hand, they just get to run around chasing after little kids, and
making all of the food.
This day that is supposed to be about love
for Jesus and your family has turned into a day of presents and money, and that
is just not right. Be thankful for what you have, because chances are, somebody
out there is wishing that they had as much as you did. (404 words)
Its good to know that there are people who think like you do, this post personally brought a smile to my face.
