As John Lennon wrote, "And so this is Christmas"... And that it is. Why have we allowed the birth of the Christ child to become another commercial excuse for everyone to judge everyone else on what material goods they have? Those that have plenty of money to spend worry most about getting the exact thing that whoever they're giving to desires. Those that have little or nothing, worry about how they will be perceived or whether or not they'll be able to nudge a month's bill to the next so that they can try and do a little something for those closest to them. Some wish for things that are entirely impossible to gain. Some cradle their broken hearts and wish the season over because of the pain it brings. Some say, "Damn it all to Hell", and silently endure the pain of the season at hand. They wander through the pain with their personal misery held close to their breast and pray to God that it all ends soon so their life can go back to it's quiet normalcy. That is who I truly wish I could help. I wish that because I know how that person feels. I know the pain that can't be taken away and I know that there is one good thing that Christmas does bring about for those people. It is the closeness of family and friends that honestly care and don't care about gifts or shopping or figgy fucking pudding. Look over your family and friends for this individual who shields his or her heart. They are the ones that need you more than anyone else. And they are the ones that will share their heart with you. Have a wonderful day with your families and friends. Remember our fighting men and women who are on foreign soil and are unable to be with us. Remember the policemen and firefighters who are away from their families to protect all of us. And remember what this day truly stands for. To my friends and family, I love you all...
