the season is over
wow i cant believe christmas is over. i would have to say that its my favorite time of the year.and as we move out of "those christmas days" i think we move out of the days that people are really open to love. have you ever heard someone say smile its christmas or dont fight its christmas, or cant we just get along its christmas, i think in this country there is more of a focous of love and family on christmas. there is nothing wrong with that. i mean christmas is the best time of year, you spend time with your family, you spread the joy of giving there is increased attendence in church. I know i feel this way. But when i think about it, should christmas really be the excuse to see your family, to be nice and give people gifts,to go to church? IN my family on my moms side, christmas was the 2nd time i saw my grandma the whole year. the other time was at my birthday. Should it really take christmas to do that? i mean the go all out and we eat and laugh and act like a big happy family, they just ignore the absence of months that was between this visit and the last. It just seems that everybody in the hubert family is so wrapped up in their problems and their lives that they forget about their family and the paeole closest to them. Dont get me wrong i mean christmas is an amazing celebration , as it should be, but what im saying is should it really take shuch an amazing holiday to get everyone together. i dont think so. maybe one day ill do something about that. now my dads side i have probably seen my aunts five or six times in the past month, it just amazes me at the different concept of family between sides. Christmas at my papas is probablyt the best day of the whole year. all of my aunts and uncles and cousisns its amazingit takes us 3 hrs just to open gifts and they are thoughtful, there is so much love in that house. my papa was praying over the food and he started crying when he rememberd my grandma who passed away. it was like a catalyst, everyone started crying and hugging and kissing. i like that concept, they work together, fellowship with one an other, talk regurly, pray together, the just genuniely love each other. Thats what my family will be like i hope. thats what i want ot to be like. i realized just how bl;essed i am this christmas.
