Christmas

I’m going to take a break from talking about the subject of medicine to talk about Christmas.

            I freaking love Christmas. No, not just because of the presents; although those are nice. Part of it is the family, but the other part is just the whole atmosphere. The Christmas feel, ya know? The decorations, food, music, and everyone’s Christmas “cheer”, or excitement. The fact that we don’t have any snow doesn’t really help, though. It’s actually making me really mad. I don’t like green Christmases.

            Anyway, I get three Christmases all in a row. I go to one side of my grandparents on Christmas Eve, and celebrate with my extended family that night. I have Christmas morning with my immediate family, and go to the other side of my grandparents Christmas afternoon. We usually do that later in the week so it’s more spread out, but we had to do it Christmas day because of family conflicts. It’ll be weird to have three Christmases all within twenty four hours of each other.

            This next part is going to be very opinionated. But if people aren’t religious, and more specifically Christian, and they celebrate Christmas specifically, that’s weird. Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. Its okay to celebrate the holidays, but don’t call it Christmas unless you believe that Christmas is in fact Jesus’ birthday.

            The whole Christmas break is full of never ending celebrations. Yes, I do get sad when Christmas is over. But then there’s New Years! My friend is having a kick ass party. I’m nervous though because it’s a somewhat fancy party, and usually I’m okay with that because I love dressing up. But I’m worried I won’t find not only the right outfit, but the right outfit in time for the party. It always works out in the end, though.

            I’m pretty much just watching movies in my classes. People say they’d rather be at home than do that, but I’d be doing the same thing at home, so why not at least come to school and enjoy it with your friends? I actually kind of like school. The teachers are nice and most of them by this point are pretty laid back because it’s the Christmas season.

            Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
