It's 11.52 as I begin this, and I'm a bit distressed how something I've waited for all year long is about to fade away...
This year's Christmas was... different. For once I actually had gifts from friends! The girls were so lovely as to give me stuff, and as I walked around church I received bags of cookies and the like as well. It was a really, warm and fuzzy feeling. I felt loved.
On the downside, looking at my presents - I can't ignore the thought that I could have done better. It really doesn't help when you present people with 'heartfelt' gifts that come unwrapped and look like they were won when you played 'Giant Claw' at the Arcade.
I got few presents from my family but that's alright. I don't want them spending money on me that they can save and use for other things... I'm just relatively happy I got to experience the spirit of Christmas even though the day started out bad.
And I'm proud of myself today 'cos when the miniscule setbacks came along, I told myself I wouldn't let this affect my Christmas.
And I enjoyed remembering my Saviour's birth in the little stable over 2000 years ago.
With these last 2 minutes of Christmas that we have,
Have yourself a merry little one.
