To get away from the Drama and to spark a rather cival conversation about other peoples lives, I ask you this question what does christmas mean to you?
When I was younger it was all about the 2 week winter vacation from school, being home with mom and having fun times watching movies on the television and waiting for chirstmas day to arrive. Thinking what presents I might be getting that year, and the smells and visual sights of the christmas decorations around the house. When christmas eve came, it was the excitment that builds up at night waiting for the next day to come before you get to open your presents and have a great morning with the family.
Now that im a bit older it has gotten to be a stress filled, work my butt off, and to tired to put up decorations kind of year. Spending more and more of my free time at work instead of at home cause of people getting sick or quitting, each day getting up and feeling dread for what i have to walk into that day at work. Only have excitment for christmas day for it will be my only day off after two weeks. Bearly any time to go out and shop for gifts for the growing number of family members, so I tend to do my shopping late at night online and pray i have enough money to pay for that extra shipping costs to get it in before christmas.
For me, christmas used to mean a time of fun with family and a time to reflect on that year at how I was as a person. As time went on though it has gotten to mean a busy work week with a day off in sight so that I can finally rest for a day before the next holiday arrives.
