It's good for you.
So... in case you weren't aware, Christmas is most definitely in 28 days. I'm overly excited about it, as I am every year. And that's one thing that's been under my skin and I must get it out.
Christmas is a time for love. Plain and simple. So, don't taint it with a bad attitude. If not for yourself, do it for the people around you. This time comes once a year and hating beautiful lights, a fat guy in a red suit, candy, and possibly snow is really not doing anyone any good. It amazes me how many people I know take so much for granted.
There are so many people out there with nothing. I'm not talking about Darfur, or some distant 3rd world country. I'm talking about a couple miles from you. In the cold, they wear the coat they did last year. For food, they pray the food shelter doesn't run out of food. And then there are people who complain about how their mom won't let them do this... or that this boy (or girl) doesn't like them... or that they're such an outcast. If you can shower every day, buy new clothes at least twice a year, eat 3 meals a day, and don't get blisters from the holes in your shoes that are open to the concrete, let me tell you, you're not an outcast.
It's sickening.
People don't have food.
They don't have parents to get mad at.
They don't have a home to want to leave.
Stop complaining. For once, think of someone else. Don't be so selfish.
When you pass flowers in the middle of the day, appriciate their color. If they're closed, know that they are for a reason. That things in this world are perfect, even when they don't please you. Know that every step you take is a puzzle piece and that there is a solution. And when you see the sun, feel it. Know that without it, you'd be nothing. Breath in it's warmth and know that for some, that's all the warmth they get. And then, when it rains, know that the earth is getting a drink of water. Everything happens for a reason. Everything is special. Everything is amazing. So stop treating it like crap. Please.

I agree.
I love Christmas and it's about time people start appreciating their positions,

I agree with what you said. But, to be honest, I mainly wanted this blog to show people to appriciate things that even seem un... appricatable (don't ask about that "word") So even if someone doesn't like those things, to not let it affect your attitude. But good point.

For SOME its a time of love. I agree with some of this blog. Some people have nothing, right down the road and in some thrid world country. Last year on Christmas Eve at 8 in the morining i went out and served coffie to local homeless people just like I do every Sunday. However, I loath Christmas. Dont go tellin me that a competition among neighbors(lights), some jolly fatass(santa), toothrotting sh*t (candy canes i really dont like, but i like most other stuff) and acidic snow are great things to everyone. They're not.

Though, my parents don't celebrate Christmas, so I don't. But I'm hopefully going to an early Christmas party in 2 days or something :]

you nkow, i love christmans, but i hate the advertising. The world makes me hate christmas. I have begun to hate it a little while walking through the shops a couple weeks ago and realising all of the decorations that have been put up. Since when was christmas all about buying presents and giving presents? I guess its a nice gesture to do so, but seriously man, enough with the advertising, its doing my head in. Even after christmas, they are still advertising!!! ahh!!!!
