I can't help but notice all the obligatory Christmas statuses everywhere. They're actually quite nice for this ONE period of the year. Christmas. Is just. Nice. It really just is. I can't help it. I'm a junkie. I can tolerate the statuses. I love Christmas.
Haha.
But no, the thing about it is the ATMOSPHERE. I mean, everywhere, for most people, everything and everyone just seems to get along and love everybody no matter who they are. Especially in families. I guess I just love the sense of community it brings because everyone is joining together to celebrate just a fantastic time of year.
You don't even have to be a Christian.
Yes, this is the time of Jesus' birth and what not, and hey! Nothing wrong with that. You go, Jesus. Look at you being another year older. I love that aspect about it.
But most importantly, whether you're Christian or Jewish or Muslim or what the heck ever, the affect of the time is so strong and so far-reaching, most people just can't help but get involved.
I have a Jewish side of the family and a Christian side. Granted, the Jews aren't the most Orthodox, in every sense of the word, pun included, but they still gave my grandma a Christmas gift and they still usually travel with us to Roanoke to see Mom's entire side of the family, and they even say amen at supper. And everywhere, people are like that. Maybe it's a bandwagon thing. But I like to believe that everybody just likes to be happy and get along.
The gifts are just kinda like a bonus.
I really love listening to Christmas music, I like putting in the same dusty tapes in year after year, I like baking, and I like wrapping. I like decorating trees.

God bless the world. Let there be peace among men. And most of all, I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas with your families. I may be a hypocrite when I say this, but cherish your families, cause they are important. Peace out ya'll! :)
