It's the holiday season guys, in case you didn't know! So Merry Christmas, Happy Hannaka, and Happy Season of Celebrating. What does the holidays all mean anyways? According to my old friend, it's all about giving him presents. Sorry bro, that's not the case. I don't know what y'all think of as the holiday season, but it involves more than just getting. It's about giving. It's about family. Sometimes, we need this time to think about what we are most grateful for, to kiss someone under the mistletoe (boys, this means you, get your act together, and get the girl...), remember those who have gone before us in holidays past, and the time to eat amazing cookies by Grandma. (hey, you gotta admit those things are freaking good). No matter what you celebrate, it all means the same. Christian, Jews, and others.
Sometimes, we need to give back. Sometimes, we need to say that we are thankful for the memories, the little sisters, the owner of stuffed horses, the people that are brutally honest, parents, cookies, the people who have left this earth before us, the people who we enjoy to bother, and actually are really good listeners, the music that inspires me, and of course the things that makes us stronger in the end. Sometimes, holidays are the things that we will remember when we are old and gray, and the elders who are already gone. The memories with Sonny on the holidays may hurt me now to think about, but someone told me one day it won't hurt. I'm holding them to that promise.
So. Go. Do. Celebrate.
