kids have it easy around the holidays

   For everyone else, it's stress.
                                   stress
                                     and more stress. For kids, all they have to do, is try to be good.


That's it. The stress comes once Halloween ends, and nothing but Christmas commercials show. It's insane and I think it does this to everyone so they can HATE the holidays.

   I don't know why but it seems to work. People are so stressed and tired by Christmas day, they don't even wanna celebrate. They just want it to end and get the new year going.


   When you're a kid, it's different. You want gifts and the only way you'll get them, is if you are good. But no kid can stay good through all of December. When I was a kid, I had to deal with my birthday as well as trying to be good for 24 days. That didn't happen, but we still got toys, and gifts.


   The meaning of Christmas isn't the stress we get out of it, but the joy we put in. Knowing the feeling is there and the kindness will always be there, and you don't need to have it on one day. Do it everyday. Make everyday feel as if it was Christmas day, and that everyday is special. We need to have the comfort and feelings every day of our lives.


 When we are kids, we think that a fat jolly suit guy is going to grant us wishes and give us gifts, but when we get older, we know what Christmas really means. Being with family. Doing kind things and giving to one another.

When we are young, we get the gifts, when we are older we give back. I think the feeling of Christmas and other holidays (like Thanksgiving) will always be with us. No matter what happens. No matter what day it is. We will always have the feeling.


*Before I leave I want my thoughts and prayers for the people of Paris in this tragedy that happened before us. I will be thinking of you at this time and knowing that my condolences are for the souls lost in this violence that occurred. PRAY FOR PARIS!*
