MERRY CHRISTMAS to those who visit here. Heck, Merry Christmas to other people too. I love Christmas. I literally do feel so much more goodwill towards man from myself and others at this time of year. It could be that I've had a shitty last few years, but I literally do count my blessings rather than focus on the bad at this point. There are so many things to love.

My theO friends are a big part of my everyday life, and I'm grateful for it. Not a bad result of doing random anime images searches 8 years ago, eh?

I had a post all planned out, but it's totally left my mind now. I know there's not a lot of churchy people who come by here. Lord knows I'm not really one, but it does seem like there is a mysticism to the season. It tries very hard to not be usurped by the Capitalism of Xmas. I think that the last few years have brought the noncommercial aspects of Christmas back to the forefront. Meager picking for presents and just hoping for a job at for Christmas helps frame things for people.

Alright, Christmas downer over. I love my Family, and I'm grateful to be able to spend Christmas with them. I took my dogs this time and they were so good! My sleep schedule is all shot to hell, and I refuse to turn on the TV or radio now that I can hear myself thing after being with all my nieces and nephews for 2 days. This is also the first year no one got sick while we were at the monastery. Glory Hallelujah!

I hope you all had excellent Christmas time and were with someone you care about be they family, friends, neighbors, whoever!
