Whenever someone brings up that fact that Christmas is nearing makes me cringe, not only because cold weather makes me sad but because I simply don't like Christmas.
Here are a few reasons why:
- I completely despise the cold because I am always cold, even in the summer I get cold. Did I mention it's cold?
- It's a lot of work putting up decorations climbing ladders (in the cold,) putting up lights, decorating trees.
- It kind of confuses me to bring a tree into the house (real or fake) just to cover it with shiny things taking away from the natural beauty of the tree hoping it doesn't die too soon, then just throwing it out a few days later.
- I don't like what it has become, instead of being about fellowship and generosity it has become about spending time with people we may not really like with the expectation they're going to give us something.
- Christmas Songs!
However, there are some things I do like about this time of year.
Such as:
- EGG NOG!!!
- Seeing the fresh snow before it has been mucked up with dirty shoe tracks and vehicle sludge.
- Getting to see family that has moved away long ago
- Giving thanks and praise to God for the birth of His son.
- Free food!
What would be my perfect Christmas season? 75 and sunny, baby!!
