Christmas.

Sometimes we forget that Christmas is not just another holiday. It's not just about presents and eating big Christmas dinners. It's not even just about spending time with family and loved ones. It's about God. Today, I went to church for the midnight mass. It's been a while since I've last been. The priest talked about remembering to stay in touch with God and believing in what he stands for. He told us that we were all born into this world to live whereas Jesus was born, ready to die. It was a time for me to reflect on the year, to re-evaluate my choices, think about my decisions and wonder about what's to come. During the times when life is crazy, hectic, absurd, harsh, and just stressful, I know that God will always be there; to help me through it all. So while you are all opening your presents and feasting away, don't forget to give thanks to whomever it may be that you believe (or don't believe in). It could be anyone; A friend, parent, teacher, lover, sibling, other god. As for me, I'm wishing Jesus a happy birthday and all of you a Merry Christmas.
