And all through the house.....people were relaxed and not really feeling much like Christmas at all.....strange but this year it is really hard to get into the Christmas spirit.....I don't know what it is. I mean by tomorrow I am sure that all will be different but today it's the eve of x-mas and I just don't feel in the mood.....well then again I have been sick for a week and wuite frankly I am tired of the runny nose and the sore throat....I want that part to be over, but other than that I don't know what it is that makes it feel like not the season. Could it be the lack of snow or the mild temperature? As an adult the magic of the season loses a bit in the fact that so much changes. Nothing is ever the same way you remember it as a child, the magic gets lost as you get older. I remember when I was a kid and every Christmas eve we would go over to Hosfields and we would have the whole gang there and open presents and have good food to eat and just hang out and visit. We don't do that anymore, haven't for a long time. That makes me sad. Sad in a way that I sd to love doing that and now we are older and we all have other lives and are either married or don't live here. Like Colleen and Andrea live in southern Ontario now so Gramma goes there a lot for x-mas......now don't get me wrong that's totally fine with me now...but it wasn't the first time she did it. Let me tell you I was never so upset. But I did get over it...eventually. But now it seems that everyone is too busy to spend any time with family. I know I love to go to my moms for dinner and in the morning to open gifts and to have breakfast, but it seems so rushed. Thanks goodnes this year I think that we are starting a new tradition.....boxing day brunch. Mary used to do it on x-mas day but it just gets to be too much....to mmuchfood and not enough time to relax....you shouldn't hav to run here to there and all over on x-mas day. You should just have a few places to go and spread your time out. That's just my opinion. I think that we all need to slow down a bit in order to be able to enjoy Christmas......not to mention that it seems to be a little too comercial nowadays anyway. But I think what we all need to remember is that when you are buying gifts for people, try to get something that they are going to rememebr and cherish for a long tme. Something that is special to them. Somthing that they are going to cry over....that's what I try to do, get that perfect gift. Well I gues I have blabbed on for long enough. I am going to try and download some movies now......see if I can get them to burn or even play....I am hungry too.....I think I might have diner...after all it is ofter 7pm.
Good night everyone. Hope you all have a great Christmas and don't lose what the season is all about.
