(Sing the following lines to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
CHRISTMAS BLOG, CHRISTMAS BLOG, CHRISTMAS BLOG AND STUFFFFFF, BLAH BLAH BLAH AND CHRISTMAS STUFF AND CHRISTMAS BLOG AND YEAH!!!
Not the best song I've ever written, but I think it truly captures the raw emotion behind my childish love for Christmas. If you didn't sing along with it, you can just stop reading now because clearly you're not fun. Or nice. Or a good person.
The Christmas season is my favorite time of year. If you know me at all, you know I think Jesus is awesome, and this is His birthday, so yeah, I'm down to get down for Jesus. Besides that though, the Christmas season seems to bring out the best in everyone. No idea why, but no matter what you believe, what holiday you celebrate, or what your opinion on Jesus is, people really step up their game for the month of December.
"But isn't it sad that people are only being kinder out of obligation?"
NOPE. Don't care. I'm no respecter of persons, but nice people are awesome, and mean, selfish people pretty much suck. Not a fan. My vote for president may have been based on who smiled more. Or was it? Or wasn't it?! WHO KNOWS, READER! All I'm saying is, kindness breeds kindness, and there's a whole lot of kindness breeding going on this time of year. I imagine when kindness breeds with more kindness, the offspring looks something like this:
or this
So clearly:
-December is when people are kind
-Kindness breeds fluffy puppies
-God shaves the fluffy puppies and lets their fluff rain down from heaven
-And that, children, is where we get snow.
Obviously the puppies are magical so once they're shaved they're immediately fluffy again, but I'm assuming you knew that.
I don't really know what I'm saying anymore. I'm caught in some weird, happy puppy euphoria, but the point I'm trying to make is that kindness goes a long way. If everyone was more kind regardless of what they were getting in return, the world would be a lot less crappy than what we're currently living in. My challenge for you this Christmas season is to love people, regardless of whether they love you back or not. Heck, maybe even keep it up after Christmas is over? Maybe? No pressure, but you should. Regardless of your stance on the Bible, the message of "love your neighbor as yourself" is a pretty good one, so let's all give it a shot.
Now crank up your favorite Christmas album, put on your happy face, and get out there and love some people!
That sounded weird, but you know what I meant. Merry Christmas everyone! MORE FLUFFY PUPPIES!
AHH!
GIMME!
SO FLUFFY!
Ok I'm done...
one more...
CHRISTMAS FLUFFIES!
