So this is Christmas...
Ya know...so many people preach about this every year, but I really think some people in my life have lost the meaning of Christmas beneath all the trappings. After a third day of shopping with my mother, I just wanted to scream at her, "YOU CAN'T BUY PEOPLE'S LOVE!"
I mean, seriously. I would have been absolutely peachy keen with no gifts this year. Honest to God. The only reason I asked for a digital camera is so I can give my mother's back to her, because I've been using it all semester. But, I was nagged and forced into writing a list of anything I could possibly want, all of which my mother will probably buy.
Now, I know some people would love this. And as a little kid, it was great. But after 20 years, sometimes all you want is to come home from college and relax, bake some cookies, and spend time with people you love. After three days of traveling to the mall and outlets, I don't even have the energy to do that.
All I want for Christmas is time. Time to lounge around. Time to spend with some of my favorite people in the world. Time to think.
Spread the love this Christmas. I'm trying to get out of this funk that the material world has put me in. Enjoy each other's company. Give hugs to everyone. Smile at someone you don't know. Just, LOVE.
