My Christmas Carol
Yes, even though the writers of my favorite shows are still on strike, I will show support for Scrubs with my subject.
There's just something about the holiday season that gets me every year, more and more. It's almost like a steady progression; every passing year I get more and more into Christmas. This year I began far earlier than I ever have (sometime during the second week of November). My roommate put it best, "You can't put a time limit on when you get in the Christmas spirit." I fully agree, and when I was walking back from Chem Lab on that Thursday and it began to snow, I felt that familiar feeling that is Christmas spirit. I immediately went up to the room and started playing the Christmas carols (courtesy of 100.3 WNIC). Later that day my roommate and I went shopping for decorations, and our room has been festive every since. We even bought ourselves some festive frankincense and cinnamon incense.
Speaking of Christmas, my family got a real Christmas tree for the first time. It was a great time, traveling out to the tree farm as a family, picking out our perfect tree, chopping it down, and then decorating it traditional Christmas style. There's a special feeling when you see your tree from the very start to the finish. It's safe to say that my family has a new tradition.
As much as I love school, I just get an empty feeling whenever I hear carols that bring me back home, to so many previous Christmas seasons when I was around. I get that deep down feeling that says I should be with my true family during the holidays. I'm looking forward to going home and spending the Christmas season with them all.
It's just like Garden State; I don't feel 100% at home at my house anymore, and yet when I'm at school, I don't feel fully at home either. It's like I'm in the middle of a transition, one where I'm homesick for a place that doesn't exist. But it will come with time, I'm sure of that.
Merry Christmas everyone.
