So this is Christmas?
Evidently for the past approximate 4 years I have been saying that it does not feel like Christmas. Ben tells me that I have been saying it since he met me. Walking home today I started to think about it.
I wait for that "magical" excitement, the anticipation of a great white Christmas. I wait for all the signs to fall into place - the smell of the unpacked Christmas tree and ornaments, blown out matches and advent candles, Nat king Coles' The Christmas Song to be played on the record player by Dad, getting ready to go to the DelCorso's, pizzelles for breakfast, and the snow slowly adding up on the ground.
I realized today I need new signs. I need to find what the new "feel" of my Christmas is. What triggers me now to realize it is Christmas? Here I am sitting, Christmas eve drinking a Lambic and listening to Nat King Cole on itunes... I haven't realized it is Christmas yet. I help people for weeks now get ready for their Christmas. I wonder what lets them know it is coming...
I'll do more later, I have to get ready to travel to MD. Night for now, and Merry Holidays.
