I went to my 1st Christmas party this past weekend and I have to admit I wasnt in such a great mood to start with. Lack of sleep and health issues keep me from having a good time most days.
Anyway, I found myself really enjoying the people at the party. Even people I dont normally like seemed overly sweet and funny. I couldnt participate like I wanted but the air was filled with holiday cheer. Santa was there giving out his candy canes and theres was TONS of food and cookies. I wanted to take the opportunity to tell each one of them what they mean to me but I was lost with joy. Its like being a part of a huge disfunctional family. Theres the younger people who grate the old folk's nerves. The fuss budget who wants everything to be right. Uncle so and so who will always end up offending someone. Theres one person who is always joyful no matter what, and one whos always miserable no matter what. I was sitting in the middle of probably 50 people and just watching and feeling the air. It was so happy. I wish it could always be that way. but I guess thats what makes the holidays so wonderful, They only come around once every year.
a tip from me...enjoy it while you can because it never seems to last.
