Just call me Scrooge
This year I feel like I just don't want Christmas to come. I'm just not in the mood. Am I weird? Don't answer that- I already know the answer. I hated all of the Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving, and now that it is after Thanksgiving, and technically "Christmas time," I still find myself resenting anything Christmas. I am looking forward to going home for the holidays- that is for sure. Maybe I'm resenting Christmas because it has so many other meanings. My time in Provo is getting shorter and shorter- and all of the Christmas stuff is just a constant reminder of that. I also have just been ridiculously disgusted with the ever increasing materialism. Why am I taking a stance now, when my whole life has been filled with materialistic Christmases? You would know just as much as I would. I really do like Christmas, but I guess I'm just not ready for it to come. This time of year is just hard as well, so maybe that has a lot to do with it. I'm about to turn 24 which is awful. haha. I'm so weird about my birthday. I just hate getting older! So maybe once my birthday is over, I will be more in the Christmas spirit.... who knows... Until then I guess all I have to say is "Baa Humbug!"

You just need to watch "Muppet Christmas Carol"... There comes a time in everyone's life when they realize that the commercialism of Christmas is a true counterfeit to the Christlike virtue of giving, true giving. When we reach that point where we find joy in the company of those we love so much, in the glorious music of the season, & in true Christlike service & gratitude for the gift of the Savior to the world... it is only then that we truly arrive at the wonders of the season. Grace... you're growing up. :)
