Christmas

It's so funny how things have changed over the years. I thought a lot about this yesterday. I have always known that Christmas is a time to be with family and appreciate the ones who love you in the name of our Lord. But in reality, I always treated Christmas as most people do, a time to open presents and be so wrapped up in the anticipation of Santa's arrival. One would think that it shouldn't take me til the age of 23 to change my thoughts but I have finally come to appreciate how truly important family is and the whole gift thing is simply an addition to a time shared with loved ones.

So I'm totally not trying to sound preachy but I am so excited that I let myself see the real meaning of Christmas this year. I have a wonderful family and it shouldn't take one day out of the year to acknowledge it. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
