Ahh, Christmas. The day we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Even though he was not born anytime near December 25th. Apparently I was like the last person on the planet that found this out. My family keeps giving me crap about how fucked up it is that the church has lied to me and one of the CORE tenets that stabilize my soul is all just a LIE. "Get over it." they say. "NO" I can’t just re-write my existence that easily.
Anyway... I LOVE Christmas. When else can a fat guy with a beard be idolized by millions.
It started out sucky. We were BROKE. Santa would not be stopping at our house. With that in mind nobody wanted to deal with a tree or any decorations. That sucked for me. I couldn’t get in the holiday mood. not to mention that Stacey’s dad died a month ago.
So. dec 25 rolls around. the not the birthday of Christ, and there are no presents under the no Christmas tree.
AJ was at his friend’s house. and jaci was with her boyfriend at his parents house. Just me, stacey, and megan...
I watched "its a wonderful life" as I always do. I cried.
when jaci finally got home she and the other kids had a present for me. They had gone through the old photos and put together a scrapbook. It was soo beautiful. but...
soo many memories; My mom. Grandmother, and my sweet little children...
I have a new rule... No Making Dad cry on Christmas!!!
Anyway, we then broke out this game called "Cranium" and at first I didn’t want to play but it turned out to be soooooo much fun.
Overall, I would give the day a 6.
TTFN.
