11 Days till Christmas (sort of)

            Okay, so it’s after midnight, so technically it’s 10 days till Christmas, but I haven’t written my 11 yet. And any and all mistakes, I blame on it being 1:30 am and it’s getting to the point where I’m weird in sleep deprivation (I’m yawning but not tired).

            Caroling for Cans was a great success. I haven’t counted how many nonperishable food items we collected, but we had fun and spread the joy. And there’s nothing like talking to friends for three hours about God and how there’s no shame. It’s an amazing reminder that we are not alone. We all go through similar things. There are times when I try to sound really positive because I’m a Christian, I should be happy 24-7-365, right? Because David totally was? And so was everyone in the Bible. The truth is when we ostracize ourselves because of how we feel, we are ostracizing others too. We all can relate to each other. We’re a lot more alike than we are different.

            And to tie it in more with Christmas than just caroling, there are those Christmas songs everybody knows. And there are those favorite Christmas songs that it seems only we know. Whether we like them or hate them, know them or not, we still all know the feeling of Christmas. I know there are people who’ve never celebrated Christmas or maybe never heard the songs, but there is that love that we all feel. You know what I mean? (If not, I’m blaming it on needing sleep).

            Good night! Hope your dreams are sweet and lead you where you need to be.
