Just a few thoughts...
With the holiday drawing to a close, I’d thought I’d take some time to reflect. And honestly, I’m indifferent towards Christmas. Try as I might, I just can’t seem to really get into the “holiday spirit”. I mean, the time with the family is nice and all... but I guess I must be missing something.
If I were living a hundred years ago, maybe it’d be a different story. But I think these days, Christmas along with other things has lost its charm. I want to be excited like everyone else seems to be... but I just keep on drawing an emotional blank. Whatever.
My Christmas was okay.
This is kind of related, I guess. A few days ago, Nik, Eric, and myself were talking about how you’d treat the topic of Santa if you were to have children. I mean, sure it’s nice for a bit for the kid to be excited and believe in all of that, but aren’t you just setting them up for a pretty sizable disappointment? Is lying to your kid really worth it? And what’s so horrible about the kid knowing that you care enough about them to take the time to buy and wrap them a bunch of nice, thoughtful presents?
I hope some good things start happening in my life. Because I’m sick of the bullshit and I think that I'm a half way decent person and I deserve it for once.
