For a little while, like a few years ago, I started to get really cynical of Christmas, or the whole holiday season really. Mostly because of working in hospitality for several years and seeing the highs and devastating lows of humanity.
Even at my most cynical though, there'd be a time every so often where my heart would soften and enjoy the festive cheer and the feeling of happy anticipation this time of year brought out of folks. And now, this year . . . I don't know. I feel so hopeful, so easy. Lasy year was a wash because of so many reasons and though those same reasons still abound, I . . . I'm feeling good. Like there's something good coming around soon and I'm a little kid again, wondering when my presents will come under the tree.
So if you're feeling the same, if you're feeling like it's weird to feel so good right now, I wanna tell you to embrace this feeling. Don't reject goodness, it won't do you any favors. Just savor this glow inside you and enjoy the season. If you don't feel like this, don't stress it! Just don't reject your authentic feelings is all I'm saying.
And if you wanna really, properly enjoy this feeling, I made a Christmas Masterlist playlist on Youtube chock full of classic Xmas movies and songs. Enjoy!
