So Christmas time is here. Yeeeaaaahhh. Now this is the time where everyone goes, "So christmas really isnt about the gifts or about spending time with your loved ones to me but it is about Jesus. All the other stuff is just what people add to it.." To tell you the truth..I HATE it when people say stuff like that, because I feel like they are a huge hypocreate. We all know for the most part what Christmas is really about. We all go to church for the month of December and every year we all learn what Christmas is really about.
As hard as we might try to tell our selves its not about the gifts, it is. I mean come on, its the day after thanksgiving and everyone is at stores buying crap for christmas. While buying that do they think, OMOGSH Jesus' b-day is in a month!! or do they go oh, xmas is soon, I need to get shopping done. And the stores, do they starts decorating the week after halloween because they want to have a big birthday bash for Jesus or because it will make people start buying stuff earlier.
Now this is the part where I go off about how its different for me right? well ok I can try...
Christmas to me...hmm..ok, what christmas to me is a time of relaxation. No school for two weeks, pretty sweet huh? Its a time where I try to think about God more but usaly dont because well I'm human. But I dont do the whole gift thing, to tell the truth I dont care about it one bit. I mean sure its nice to get stuff but growing up in a family where money is tight and you know it, I have grown to not expect anything. People always ask me what I want for christmas and I really dont want anything. I dont wanna sit there and fanisize about all this crap that I really dont need but would like just for the heck of it. In all honesty, I am completly satisfied if my family gets a xmas tree. Other than that, what more is there to want? I mean, I know that God is around and I know that my friends love me...
...and I feel like I almost hate Christmas. I hate how people get around the this time. Feel so fake. And I hate how much the Jesus story is done, I know I know, its his moment, but its just like wow, you told the same thing for the past 4 weeks but in 4 different ways..iono. Im sorry if I sound horrible but Im not gonna lie about it.
So that was my little rant for all of you. Hope it spoke to you somehow...
