First off, I would like to admit that Santa Clause is seriously my favorite Christmas movie. Sorry, other Christmas movies. And there are so many others of you out there. I am not saying its the greatest movie for others, or try to defend it over other classics like Elf or Christmas Vacation. But Santa Clause takes me back to a time where I would watch that movie when I was a kid, and it reminds me of all the joy of believing.
I never truly understood what it was like to believe in anything truly. I barely ever stood a chance of believing in myself at first, but once you truly learn you aren’t alone in life, everything else seems to fall into place. This wasn’t an easy journey either, I like things being organic. Food and other aspects of life. And I am blessed everyone around me doesn’t force feed me anything about faith, it’s all about what I think and what I believe from what I see and read.
And I love this. I love this part of religion. I am not going to say what I think is over what you think. You believe what you want, and so shall I. I will. I do. I live by the love I feel around me, from Him to the people I am constantly blessed to have around me.
People usually don’t ask why I love Christmas so much, and I wasn’t really sure myself to this year… the year it all somewhat just fell into place… jigsaw style. I love believing in higher power and feeling loved and Christmas is the time of year where everyone jigsaw fades together and the love is always amazing.
I am no expert, I have much more to learn from reading and discussing with friends. So glad I have many Christmases ahead of me to celebrate and grow and learn. Love is all I wanted and I got it.
And now my favorite quote from all Christmas specials combined, Linus was streets ahead people…
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.’
But seriously, Merry Christmas to you!
