Christmas Thoughts

Tomorrow I fly back to the land of my birth. The home of my youth. The land of snow and chilly weather.

I have many thoughts as I get ready to go home. I'm excited because I haven't been home in 2 years. I'm happy to be spending some time with my "family" (some are not blood-related). I'm glad I'll get some good r&r time. I'm nervous because I haven't seen some people in 2 years or more. I'm scared to death I'm going to wind up defending my family (their crazyness & traditions) the whole time to a fiance who has only once been to my home prior to this. I'm scared even more that I'll be smothered by my parents because it's been so long since I've been home.

I just want to enjoy Christmas.

Why do we have to grow up? Why can't all Christmases be like when we were children?

Well, in an effort to return to that mentality, I say . . .

BRING ON THE PRESENTS, SANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
