Peace.

This has really hit a chord with me lately.  I thought it deserved to be shared.  May you all find peace today and for the new year!

Christmas Blues

What is is about this scene here that makes thousands of people around the globs so miserable this time of year?

This in my opinion is close to a perfect scene of what this season is about.  The warmth of a hearty fireplace couldn't possibly be complete without Christmas lights.  And what on earth could possibly be depressing about a jolly fat man descending your chimney to leave you cool stuff, right?  Normally, this is how I usually feel about the Christmas season.  I love everything about Christmas!  The chill of the winter air, wine, sweaters, hot apple cider, wine, reading in front of the fireplace, all the beautiful lights, family, and the wine.  It is all euphoric for me and if it were up to me, it would be Christmastime all the time!

But.....

This year, I don't know what bah-humbug has gotten into me.  I find myself irritated with the traffic and disgusted with Christmas shoppers and lines longer than the Matterhorn.  I find myself reevaluating The Grinch and have decided that he isn't so bad after all.  He is just misunderstood and lonely.  I'm sure I will pull out of it in the next few days once I get the chance to decorate my house until it is officially Santa-ready and Jesus-infused.  Once I have my other half in the same county, I will feel much better and not so lonely. 

Merry Christmas.  I will update next week on my mood. :)
