I was just about ready to say that this Christmas was the worst Christmas ever, but in reality--it's the baggage that comes with the holidays that makes today a bit heavy, definitely not the meaning of Christmas.
Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, but the past few weeks I've been drowning in the social norms of buying presents for loved ones, feeling merry, and thriving in the cold. Which led me to my boiling point, the point which took months and months to get to. The situations and attitudes that erupted today threw me off, and I felt this overbearing feeling of hatred and bitterness. For that, I genuinely apologize.
God put me in check. He made me step back, and stand in the shoes of the one I had ill feelings towards. At that moment, my heart was strained, my tongue was at a loss for words, and the tapes of my mind completely erased.
Today is Christmas. The day of remembering the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord & Savior, God's ultimate gift to us.
God gives us this day to appreciate one another, and to step back from our hectic lifestyles and to breathe for that one second. Those are the most precious gifts I could have ever asked for.
Merry Christmas.
By far, the best Christmas song:
