It is that time of year again…
Where I may or may not go a little Christmas crazy a little
sooner than most people would prefer. But it is not just the sparkles and
catchy songs that make me fall in love with Christmas. I love that the soul
reason for this holiday is to celebrate selfless love. It is supposed to be
about giving, about reflecting on the gift God gave all of this.
I know not everyone is religious or worships the same God I
do. I know not everyone celebrates Christmas (Shout out to Hobby Lobby for
having a whole Hanakuha section). It should not be about the name of the
holiday though. I am always a little confused by the people who believe anytime
is too early to celebrate Christmas. Since when is celebrating this time of the
year such a bad thing? A time of year that is meant to inspire compassion and
generosity, encourages people to take a step back and spend time with their
loved ones, a holiday based out of the idea of selfless love. I know you might
get sick of the glitter and the Christmas carols but I think the fact people
want to celebrate this kind of joy and love should never be discouraged. I
think it is something we should be celebrating all year.
As I gear up to decorate my apartment, harass store clerks
with my overly perky spirit, and sing Santa Baby at the top of my lungs I just
wanted to take the time to remind myself what it is all about. This season for
me is about coming back to Christ and remembering the ultimate gift I have
already received.
Oh by the way hello again! Hopefully there will be more
blogs to follow.
With love,
Zoey
