Christmas Spirit

I’ve always been one to believe in a Christmas Spirit. As in, a joyful state or mood in which the coming of the holiday season excites me. If I don’t have this feeling, it seems that it all comes too sudden and goes away just as quick, which can get very depressing.

It’s almost like missing a bus, except the bus only comes once a year… and this bus pollutes the air with fumes of joy and giddiness. Or maybe it’s so good that the bus doesn’t pollute at all.. It’s powered by natural gas, like those busses in Atlanta…

Anyway, I’ve been trying to get back into the Christmas Spirit lately. I’ve been so busy with work and my car issues and everything that I’m forgetting that it’s only like a week and a half away. It just doesn’t seem like the holidays to me, jamming out to Christmas music at my desk, and wrapping gifts earlier then normal just isn’t doing it.

However I did manage to get my Christmas shopping done. I went to Mall of America last weekend to pick up a couple remaining items. I got some pretty neat stuff; I think everyone will be very happy this season. Not that they wouldn’t be happy anyway. I keep getting reminded that Christmas isn’t about gifts, I know I have went over my idea of what Christmas is really about, the gift giving is a big part of it to me. Giving being the key word, it just so happens that the circle of giving comes back to me.

I plan to bring home packing tape and cutting sheers from work. Its time for some Christmas physce meditation, while gazing into the oodles of gifts I’ll be wrapping.

Mmmmmm oodles.
