"Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown up now,
can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish,
my grown up Christmas list
not for myself but for a world in need
no more lives torn apart,
that wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
and every man would have a friend
that right would always win,
and love would never end.
This is my grown up Christmas list"
This year, I've kind of had a different outlook on Christmas. It's ironic how concerned people are with the shopping and the decorating, yet they fail to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Who says it better than the Grinch himself?
"And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice cold in the snow
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes, or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled, 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store?
What if Christmas perhaps, meant a little bit more."
I know that this holiday is something that everyone really looks forward to all year, so the excitement of all the presents and fun is essential, but this year I want to do my part to remind everyone of what Christmas is really about! It's the celebration of the birth of Christ! Remember to spend lots of time with your loved ones, because as many of you have probably heard, love is actually spelt T-I-M-E, and be sure to be happy to give, more than receive. Have a Merry Christmas everyone :)
