No Christmas in Whoville
For the first time in seven years, there will be no Christmas in Whoville. It wasn't stolen by the Grinch or exploited by capitalism, it just never showed up. Every year Christmas has been something special in our house. Our living room decked out like Charlie Brown and Rudolph both exploded, seven foot prelit Christmas tree with each branch over stocked with ornaments that have been collected over the years, a 45 piece Victorian Christmas Village with "real" lighted trees and candles in all the windows of the buildings, stockings hung by the tv with care; but not this year. Christmas has turned into just another day - a day with it's own commercials and tv specials but another day nonetheless. I guess it's hard to be jolly when you are bordering of financial disaster. This is the first year that I can remember in a long time that I haven't been able to buy gifts for my family and I think that is where some of the major bummed out comes from. So with that being said, I hope that your Christmas is good and I hope that Santa brings you what you want.
