The True Meaning Of Christmas

There's only a week until Christmas and everyone's getting excited! However, I feel like a lot of people lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. I've heard so many people say how excited they are to get gifts and I feel like that's really sad that that would be the only reason you're excited. I mean, yeah, sure, everyone is excited to get their presents and see what's waiting for them under the tree. But, some people take it to the extreme. Some people's Christmas lists are unbelievable!! Kids want designer this and designer that, headphones just because they're made by Dr Dre they have to be $200. My earbuds for my ipod are like $5 and work just fine. I've always hated the way kids treat their parents nowadays and around the Holiday's it seems to be ten times worse. I'm not saying I'm a perfect angel, that's not what I mean at all. But the economy is bad, and kids today just think that money grows on trees. There are some kids who don't get to celebrate Christmas, that don't have loving Family and Friends to care for them, that will go to bed hungry, meanwhile spoiled kids all over the country are getting a trillion dollars worth of crap. What about loving Christmas because you get to spend it with your loved ones? What about the fact that our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ was born Christmas Day? Try to put yourself in someone else's shoes and you'll appreciate everything you do have. I had to vent. With that being said, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! God Bless!

What I'm Thankful For..

Happy Thanksgiving! Ever since I was a little kid, every Thanksgiving, I would watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Memories...=)
On this very Thanksgiving Day, I am very thankful for my Dad. He is the most amazing person. As a single father, he raised me well. He's strong, supportive and I wouldn't be who I am today without him.
I am so thankful for my friends- They are the best people in the world! They bring laughter, joy and light into my life. We learn from each other and our relationships get stronger every year. We're basically sisters, and nothing could ever change that. I'm thankful for their support and love every day.
I'm thankful for the people I've met in the past year who have made me an overall better person. You know who you are. Your positivity and strength has inspired me beyond words and I'm very blessed to have met all of you. I hope we never lose touch.
One thing I've recently learned, is to not only Thank God for our blessings, but also Thank HIM for our disappointments. I Thank God for not only all these Amazing people in my life, but for all the bumps in the road we've all encountered as well.
I love you all so so much; You each have a special place in my heart.
