'Tis the Season

The Gleek that I am, I just watched this weeks episode of Glee. It hit really close to home, so I thought I'd take some time and blog. Everyone was so wrapped up in asking for gifts, or being unkind to one another that they forgot the true meaning of Christmas.

We should be thankful for what we have, and being able to spend time with the people we love, our families. Not everyone is lucky enough to get that. I took that for granted. In the past, my relationships seemed to be more important at the time, and I skipped out on hanging out with my family. Where did that get me?  I also spent one of my holiday seasons allowing people to argue with me which really put me in a slump. One of my fondest memories was 4 years ago, I spent Christmas with my entire extended family. Focus on the relationships that mean the most, and make the most of them!! You never know when this could be the last Christmas that you spend together.

As for gifts, Give and you shall receive.  I'm all about gifts during Christmas, but I'm all about giving them. I don't like to receive anything because I always feel greedy inside (thats just me though, ha). Times are rough right now, so money might be an issue. That doesn't mean you can't give a gift. The gifts that mean the most, are the ones with the most thought behind them. Create something at home, write a letter, video chat long distance. It's the little things that mean the most!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
