Last year all I heard was, "Happy holidays." This year, almost every person in every store or place I've been has said, "Merry Christmas." It made me smile every time. Christmas is not just a holiday; it's a celebration of Jesus' birth. And that's something to be thankful for. So..... MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope you're as thankful as I am. :D.
I'm proud to say this Christmas is a little different than all the others for me. It's the first Christmas that I really didn't want anything. I have all I need. Sure, there are things I'd like to have, but I knew I could wait until I had the money to get them. I told myself this Christmas I was going to appreciate Jesus' birth, rather than the presents. I did end up getting a few exciting things for myself (I know everything I'm getting, I THINK), my parents, and my brothers (which I'm dying for them to open), but other than that, this Christmas is not about me. Gifts are fantastic, but there are definitely more important things in life and I'm glad I've finally realized that.
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS. You da best. Thanks for being born.
