I used to love Christmas. I’d walk downstairs, look at the tree, and be filled with awe and joy. It was a truly magical time of year, not because there was magic, perse, but simply because it was bringing me together with my family, and friends, and everyone.

I’ve been too busy to feel that magic, really, but upon reflection, man, it’s still doing that. I had a great Christmas party with my friends, and I’m going to have some great Christmas times with my family today. It feels more mundane, perhaps. Maybe that means I’ve been closer to them in general? I don’t know.

Still, I’m going to have a good time. I’m going to relax this post-Christmas week. I’m going to be happy. I’m going to be with my family. You should be too, if you can manage it. Holidays are excuses. Who cares why these traditions started, the important thing is to enjoy the occasion to really… enjoy the occasion. That’s how I look at it. Give people a hug. Be awesome. Merry fucking Christmas. You know?

Always so much going on, but Christmas… that brings everything together, doesn’t it… hopefully so.
