I want to do Christmas differently. The thought keeps going through my mind, "There must be something more." That seems like a Hollywood quote. How many movies have you seen where one character or another voiced those words? Speaking of Hollywood, I fear I might be taken for a Scrooge or a Grinch, just by saying the words. Yet, you must remember that they both turned into nice guys in the end. You can also admit that you have thought the same thing a time or two, but have squashed it...like I always have. This year, however, I want to mean it....
Some tell me it's because our family has changed. Some tell me it's the economy. Others tell me I'm just a little tired and burned out from a crazy year. I just keep wondering if I'm too selfish to exert myself beyond me. Whatever it is, I think it has merit. Determining that something has value is the first step, but it seems the harder task might be sorting out how to pursue the idea. I searched the internet for articles or bloggers who have said the same thing, and found very few. I think it was three, but one of them was filled with vulgar language, so I didn't even read it; I'm not angry about the dilemma, just thoughtful about it!
Have you figured out how to do Christmas differently?
