so its two days after christmas and i got alot of stuff i wanted and all that good stuff, but i want to hang with my friends more. nobodys home right now and i feel like taking a walk somewhere far away. i need to meet someone new, anyone new. the people i know are very confusing at the moment. i always wonder how different everybodys christmas is. i wonder what people in jail do on xmas. homeless people? jewish people? do priests give eachother gifts? are they all god related? christmas is for kids. they dont have to worry about anything. most adults juss want it to be over because of how stressful it is. what with buying gifts, getting the tree, the crowded malls, decorating the house, christmas parties, spending alot of money on gifts the person may not even like. it sucks really. if you arent truly a christian faith then why are you celebrating xmas? i mean really? its a holiday built on mateialistic ideas. you could argue that its about appreciating the people in your life, but if you really did you wouldnt show it by buying them a DVD player. not everyone has a happy xmas which makes me mad because its really only a good holiday if you get great gifts. unless you have a wonderful family to celebrate with and then thats all you need. chances are thats not the way it is. as a kid, xmas is the best day ever. even more than your bday because of all the decorations and all the emotion thats built up to that day. i remember not being able to sleep the night before because i was so excited. i dont get excited as much. xmas is only a wonderful holiday if you have lots of family and friends or your christian. lets say that your a widower whos family has long died out or live on the other side of the country. you mat get a call from them on christmas day, you may not. your days consist of sleeping eating and watching the telly.maybe going out to eat. your friends are the guy at the liquor store who gets you your cigarettes once a week and the manager at denny's. youve never been a religious person, when you were a kid, you got your first communion and baptism but nothing after that. after your mother died, religion didnt seem like something that would help. christmas comes and goes and the only reason you are reminded is becauseof the endless amount of decorations on the street and in stores. you havent decorated your house in 20 years. christmas is more of a sad day that a day to rejoice.
