So I find myself upon another Christmas Eve, possibly the most comfortable one I've spent in years. Not comfortable as in 'cushy' or 'luxurious', but peaceful and contented. I haven't had this kind of peace in a long time. It's what I've wanted all my life, really

I spent the past couple of years completely miffed about Christmas too!!! This year was different for me too somehow. Christmas just kinda happened without much planning or effort, it just fell into place!
I gave up on the whole buying gifts and shit a long time ago. I've always been too broke to do it and my family understood. The only one I bothered to try to do something for still was my niece because she's too young to understand and might take it personally. But even then, I'd still just burn her movies that I had downloaded because I couldn't buy her anything else. She was just glad I thought of her and gave her something she wanted and liked still...even if it wasn't brand new!!!
This year I made everyone 4 different cupcakes, slapped that in a dollar store box and that was that. I didn't spend a shitload of money. I spent more time making the gift than money to make it. And the whole time it took me to make those cupcakes I reflected about Christmas, giving, friendships and how lucky I am to have those folks in my life...so in other words, those cupcakes were made with appreciation and love. And my friends were soooo happy with it because it was unique, thoughtful, made with love and cattered to their very personal taste!! (I know my friends well) I made a Turkey dinner and had them all over. To me...that's what Christmas is all about. I didn't receive a shitload of gifts...but I don't care because I was surrounded with the people I care about and we had a great time!!!!! And all that despite the fact that I was sick and exhausted....I still enjoyed every single minute of everything!
I'm glad to hear you had a good Christmas this year!!! And as for the whole world eventually realising what christmas is all about...I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon but we can keep wishing!!!! :p
Take Care dear and I hope you have an excellent NYE!!!!
