For whatever reason, Christmas has always brought out the emotional side in me. It could be the lights, or the festivities, I'm not quite sure. It's a mystery, the way I sit staring up at the Christmas tree, the flickering lights, shimmering ornaments and am always tempted to cry. It could be because in my opinion, life can't be more perfect and so I cry because of thankfulness. Or because I feel so loved by my family and friends that it overwhelms me. Whether or not I'll ever figure out what exactly it is that stirs my emotions, I'm taking into account every joke, every smile, every hug because who's to say what will happen next? Life's full of radical changes and so I'll enjoy everything I have right now, before time comes and whisks it away. If it wasn't for Christmas, who knows? I probably wouldn't take the time to really think about how blessed I actually am.
~Merry Christmas!
