Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Today is Christmas Eve and we’ve just finished putting the bow on the last gift. For being a Christ like time of year, Christmas sure can be stressful. I think the stress is half the fun. It’s like getting ready for a big night out, and then wanting to go to bed after the primping rituals are over.

I’ve always believed that no matter what religion you are, or when you think Christ was born, no one could argue with the fact that Christmas is a time for family and caring. So no matter what Christmas means to you, if anything at all, we can all appreciate a time for kin. It is an excuse for family to be one and in this world of hurried chaos we need every opportunity to eat and be marry together. The presents under the tree or beautiful not because of the quantity, or glare from shiny technology but beautiful because of the face my mother and father have when their children open their presents. With every tear and every shake of the gifts, my father gets a smile on his face as big as the line waiting to get a new Wii. It’s the same face he gets when we take our first bite into his freshly cooked meal. Parents enjoy care giving, and thrive off of the knowledge that they are fabulous caregivers, and there children never want.

I can’t wait for tomorrow. When I, 22 years old, rush into my little brothers room and awake him, then run into my mothers room with a richly sweetened cup of coffee. We beg for everyone to get up, so we can open the shaken to death gifts, and then go back to sleep until dinner.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
