merry christmas, everyone!
as much as i love christmas, i feel so awkward. i’m anxious and nervous, and just sort of want to avoid people because i know they’ll ask the same question, plenty of times from plenty of people. “what did you get?” truth is, i didn’t get anything, and i’m not upset about it because i’m seventeen and it’s not like i need much anyways. for my family christmas was tight this year, and i really liked seeing my little brother and sister getting the things they want, and not getting anything under our tree - because that’s the christmas spirit, right? you get little kids everything they want just to see their faces light up and that’s easily my favorite part about this holiday because there’s that belief in something that makes every horrible thing in this world pale in comparison. for one shining moment, people give selflessly without expecting anything back and i think having to explain this to people is really sad. i mean, i’n not trying to be humble or whatever, because it doesn’t bother me that i didn’t get physical presents this year, or even last year for that matter. but having to explain that is lame, because a lot of people just expect that everyone needs tangible gifts, but that’s just not christmas to me.
but regardless, i hope everyone is having or has had a great and safe holiday. (:
