Happy Holidays from Me

I hope this Christmas is good to you.

I hope you get many chances to smile and laugh with the ones you love.

I hope you take time to recall the memorable moments you’ve had since last Christmas.

I hope the people around you remind you that you’re amazing.

I hope that your house smells delicious.

I hope you tell someone an inspiring story.

I hope that your children, if you have them, tell you how much they love you, and not just because you bought them gifts.

I hope you tell the people you love most in this world that they ARE a gift in your life.

I hope that despite any setbacks, cramped car rides, weird relatives, burned food, crying children or unwanted gifts that your Christmas is beautiful, and that the good parts, whether they’re big or small, balance out the bad.

These are my hopes this Christmas season, for you and I guess for myself as well. This is a weird holiday for me. I’m not used to spending it alone, and I’m not used to having a broken laptop that I can’t use. (Oh, the pain!)

Last night I was really sad, because I couldn’t find anything good in this holiday, but today I woke up and thought about all the good things and people in my life. I’ve met some truly amazing people this year, and I’ve accomplished so much since last Christmas. I have a lot to be happy and grateful for today. I’m celebrating that.

So, enjoy your holiday, whatever shape it takes. Merry Christmas!
