Christmas doesnt feel the same as usual.
There's no warm feeling. No nostalgic feeling for the holidays. Its missing something...
It must be the cold, frosty air. Or the smell of turkey baking in various houses, or the lights lit up on every house. Or it must be the total ambience of the starry night sky, mixed with the chilliness of the air, along with the aroma of 'christmasy' delights that floats into my nostrils with the help of a small but nippy wind. But, maybe not. Maybe it's the excitment of waiting for the day to come. Maybe its the anticipation of celebrating with my family, with a tree, lights, the christmas special on tv playing. I'm missing all of these, because I'm spending christmas in a tropical climate, where the radio doesnt even bother to play christmas music on this special day. Yea, christmas is about Jesus' birth, but come on. Don't fool yourself, thats not the only reason we celebrate christmas. We celebrate christmas because it takes our minds off the daily routine of life. Its that one special day when families and friends gather together, and make merry with one another just because. The true feeling of christmas is being with each other, in your perfect memory of what a christmas day should be. The festive season extends beyond december 25th. After all, there are 12 days of christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone.
