It’s 11:30pm on Christmas and I’m sitting here working on my laptop listening to Christmas music. Earlier today I was feeling like I was starting to be done with Christmas. Then I set my Christmas music to shuffle on my Apple TV and the first song it chose was my favorite most meaningful Christmas Song. (Aspenglow by John Denver).
I realized, I’m not ready for Christmas to be over yet. The day is nearly done, and that’s what I was feeling, but I’ll really miss the season. This was a really good Christmas, I did a lot of things right this year to have a good Christmas and both the season and the day were great. It made me think seriously about how to keep that Christmas Spirit alive for the whole year. I don’t mean listening to Christmas Music for the whole year, but trying to make my life happier and keep that honest and fresh and pure feeling that Christmas brings.
There have been a lot of change in my life in the last few years, and here I am again at a point where I realize even more change needs to happen. Not of location or even job, but of me, of how I look at the world and what I bring into my life. I like how I feel after a month of watching of movies and listening to music about good things happening.
Christmas is a special time of year, but this year I’m going to work on making its effect last a little longer.
