So it is officially Christmas Eve and the wait for Santa Claus grows shorter. Tomorrow children everywhere will awake to presents under the tree. Kids will go crazy and play with the toys they receive for a grand total of like 2 weeks at most. It seems to me that for the most part the things we get on Christmas day as children are a total waste. I find it funny that Christians everywhere celebrate Christmas for the birth of Jesus but at the same time we continue to spread a huge lie. Now I would imagine that if your reading this Blog then your old enough to know the truth. Santa is FAKE!!! We as Christians preach that thou shalt not lie yet every year we tell our children that there is a Santa Claus when there really is not such a man. Yes, historically speaking there once was a St. Nick but he no longer exists. Now I am all for the spirit of Christmas and I am not even advocating not telling children to believe in Santa all I am doing is pointing out that fact. I personally find it funny that we do that year after year. We can tell our kids there is no Santa and still give them the presents every year and as far as they matter it would be the same. Ok now off of my little soap box. I love Christmas time and everything it represents to us as Christians. I love winter it happens to be my favorite season and I only wished that I lived in a place where it snows every year on Christmas. That is the only thing that would make Christmas better for me. I love being able to spend Christmas with family and friends and just being able to take a break from school or work. I enjoy the Christmas cheer that is spread and for a few brief moments this dark world show me the kind of people we are capable of being. We are capable of being so much better if only we allow ourselves a reason or a purpose to be better than we are. So as you gather with family and friends this Christmas season remember that this doesn’t have to be a temporary season of good cheer but that it can and should carry over with us each and every day. So I leave you with “Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!!!!!!!”
December is Here!!!
December brings with it many things. For starters it officially ends no shave November. Yes ladies your man can now shave if he so chooses or if you make him. Women everywhere are rejoicing lol. Here is the growth that I had for the month of November.
Now I know that Mallory will be happy to know that I did indeed trim my facial hair last night after midnight. But other than the end of No Shave November, December still has a lot to offer. Here is my short list of things: Official start of winter, Finals, Christmas, Christmas break, and New Years. Wow you guys we have a lot to look forward to this month. Winter is probably my favorite season because I love the snow so I am very excited that it is finally here. While no one wants to take finals everyone wants out for Christmas Break. I have no idea what I am getting for Christmas back home if I even get anything. And then we have the start of the New Year, the New Decade 2010. So all in all the outlook for December looks pretty good to me. Oh did I mention i am going to Branson for the first time with Mallory and her family the week after Christmas…So yeah a great December is ahead of us.
