Well, it's that time of year again. The snow is softly falling... well, almost... it actually looks like we're going to have another green Christmas here in Toronto, but who knows. But this season isn't really about the snow, is it?
I came across this note that I had written a few years ago about why I love Christmas, and I thought, dear readers, that I would share it with you now.
I've been asked over and over as of late why it is that I'm so excited
for Christmas, well I'll
tell you.
Christmas to me isn't about presents. It's not about
getting all worked up and angry at trying to maneuver through crowded
stores.
To me it's still about good will and peace towards all men.
It's about seeing people smile when they hear their favorite Christmas
carol or find the perfect gift for the one they love. It's about cookies
and pies and sharing the joy of making them with someone special. It's
about putting up the tree and looking at all the ornaments, the old, the
new, the badly made ones from when we were children or from when we
first moved out and couldn't afford any. It's about spending time with
the people I love and remembering all the Christmas's prior when we sat
around on the kitchen floor and drank hot chocolate. It's about watching
our favorite Christmas movies that make you feel good about the world
and getting the songs stuck in your head for days. It's about seeing the
first snowfall as it covers and ground and makes the whole world look
as if it's perfectly untouched. Throwing snowballs and making
snowangels.
It's about family and knowing that even though we might
not always see eye to eye, that we love each other with all of our hearts
and we look forward to spending the holiday together.
So to all
of you out there, whether you be friend or family, adoptive family,
casual acquaintance or co-worker, enjoy the season of hope and wonder and
I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas from the very bottom of my
heart!
Now, of course, this goes out to all you wonderful geek readers out there too!
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of you for all your love and support. I may not blog as often as I want to, but I truly do love it.
So, as a little holiday thanks, here are as many geeky Christmas pictures as I've been able to find over the years! Enjoy!
You said it Supes... you said it.
And remember this Holiday Season; Talk Star Wars to someone... you never know what kinds of friendships can be made ;)
