Let the egg nog glow


Every year, millions, and quite possibly billions of people create a shift. A shift so great the whole world seems to benefit from it. Turn on the radio or the television and its there. Walk downtown or through the mall and you can just sense it coming. That’s right, it’s Christmas, and the best thing about Christmas is the Christmas Spirit. The time of year when a good portion of Earths population seems to forget its wrongs and troubles while exchanging them for good company and a cheery atmosphere. Don’t get me wrong, there are still things in this world that aren’t right, even on Christmas, but all in all, Christmas fever takes over.

Some people feel it from December and even into November, while some don’t feel it until the gifts are all under the tree or unwrapped. Some people can’t help but feel the Christmas cheer and spread it right from the get go. While some lose the meaning of Christmas while stressing about Christmas presents. Yet, when the calendar hits the 25th even the stressful shopper can’t help but feel the spirit. After all, they’re weeks of stress probably paid off in what was a great act of giving. And that’s what it’s all about. In a world of take take take, Christmas seems to bring out the ‘give’ in people. This might just be the only time of the year when people worry and stress about what they’re going to get for someone.  Rarely do we ever stress about what we’re receiving for Christmas. Of course we still look forward to what has our name on it when it’s under the tree, but there’s nothing like seeing the smile on your families face when they get what they hoped for.

Anyways just a few thoughts I figured I’d share. Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you enjoy your egg nog, turkeys, baked goods, and Boney M.!
