The Christmas Season Is Here!!!!!

Oh my Gosh......the Christmas Season is here and I LOVE Christmas!!!!! Sure, I love to get presents just as much as anybody but that's not why I love Christmas.
It's the mood.....no, not the wrestling match at the mall to get the last Elmo doll or whatever the so-called "must have" toy this season is. It's the energy, the love, the compassion for your fellow man, everybody wanting to help one another. I can feel it .......it's so electric. Everyone's bitterness and pissed off attitude seems to take a break for a month. It's great. I wish the feeling lasted all year long not just in December. I know...I know. Christmas shopping is fun for about the first five minutes and then I, too, can start feeling my elbows stiffening because I got bumped for the umpteenth time without a word of apology. How hard is it to say "Excuse me" instead of trying to run a person over with a cart or try paying attention to others around you. I know I'm not the only one in the store at any time so I make sure I'm not standing in the way of another person trying to get by when I'm looking at something.

All's I'm asking is for everybody to remember to PAY ATTENTION!!!! We're all in the malls and stores for the same reason....to get all of our holiday shopping done with as little hassle as humanly possible. So there's no sense getting upset or freaking out on the sales clerk. She can't change the situation. So instead of passing on your foul mood to others try taking a deep breath....chill out and smile. The same goes for the road rage drivers. Remember everybody's time is just as important as yours so relax and think just maybe you needing to go slower is the Universe's way of saying you need to learn more patience. Food for thought.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY......enjoy all of the festivities this season including the traffic jams and the long lineups at the stores.
