The Christmas season overwhelms me!
It has pretty much every year since i’ve been a “real” adult. The funny thing is it’s not like the whole month of December i’m neurotic or anything like that but right around the week before Christmas when i realize i’ve ran out of time to put off Christmas gifts, get the laundry done before we head out to Vegas, and finish up any of the “end of year” things i start to lose it.
Seriously, i start to totally turn everything on ME and I absolutely hate it when i hit this point because it means i’ve let the hype of Christmas get to me. The fact that i’m worried more about if a family member is really going to like their gift or not than the fact that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus with family. “The reason for the season” if you will.
so, i’m jammin out to some old school Christmas tunes and the people who wrote these songs…definately didnt let the hype of Christmas get to them. I admire that. I’ve sung these songs all my life and never really caught the richness of some of these lyrics.
Its good for me to stop and acknowledge i’m all hyped out so i can come back to reality and enjoy what this season is all about.
Thank you online public journal for being my therapy today
