Peace on Earth

One week until the holidays begin. I just don't feel it. Seriously, it's to hot outside for the middle of November. This coming from the girl that grew up in Texas. Nevertheless. There is a reason I don't live there now. I like having 4 seasons. I want the chill in the air and snow on the ground for the holidays, no, I will not move back to Alaska either. They don't have 4 seasons. They have 3...this winter, next winter, and last winter.
I'm also not feeling that "holiday spirit." To be honest, I don't think I have for years. Christmas used to be my favorite time of year. I have at least 5 boxes of decorations, and that's not counting the tree. That's not what Christmas is about for me though. It's not about the gifts or even (and don't hate me for this) the birth of Christ. Now before you get all upset, it is a part of it for me. Understand though that we live in world were not everyone believes in Christ. Christmas is so much more than all that for me. For me the "holiday spirit" is just that. It's the human spirit. It used to be the one time of year when we all wore our hearts on our sleeves.
I promise to tell my holiday story tomorrow. I gotta run now.

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. ~Jay Leno
