Merry Christmas

Dear Followers,
    Merry Christmas Eve! Or happy holidays. Whichever you prefer. With this great season upon us, I will be spending a lot of time with my family. I may get some poems up, but not as much. To me, Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends. It's a time of traditions and being around loved ones. Too many people today get so focused on the gifts and the material things. They think about Santa as a way to get things, not as a way to spread cheer and happiness throughout the world.
       So this year, I'd like to remind my followers what Christmas really means. I dare you to sit and think about the meaning of Christmas. It's not just, yay food, it's coming together and being thankful. This year, I'm thankful for a lot of things. I'm thankful for my health and the health of my family, I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head and food on the table. I'm also thankful for my new friends that I've met at college and my oldest friends that are my sisters. You guys are lifesavers, whether you realize it or not.
     This year, I will sit around the Christmas tree with my family tonight on Christmas Eve, eating Chinese food and watching Despicable Me and I'll be happy. Happy for this time of year. I may be desperately missing snow right now, but Christmas isn't about the snow. It's not about the cookies or the music. It's about the spirit of Christmas. So as we step forward into this holiday time, remind yourself of the Christmas spirit. The spirit of joy and giving and family.
   Have a safe and happy holiday filled with Christmas spirit.
    Love, Kait
