Tis The Season

I guess….

I used to get excited when Christmastime came around. But after my kids grew up and got out on their own, Christmas seemed to lose its meaning. Now don’t go thinking that I’ve forgotten what Christmas is really about, I haven’t. I know that it’s the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. And being a Christian, I understand the significance of that.

The joy I used to feel at Christmas when my kids were little has now been replaced by a feeling of “let’s get this over with.” Call me Scrooge if you want, I’ll not get angry because I can still smile through it all. And I most certainly will try hard not to be cynical (Lord knows I’ve been down that road before!).

I’m pretty sure that hanging around for 69 years has probably caused some of my changing attitude towards Christmas. And as far as I know, there is no cure for aging.

Tis the season? Bah….humbug! And please don’t be offended, I’ll wake up Christmas morning feeling a lot better, I promise!
