It's Christmas morning! I woke up a little while ago because I was hearing music. I am at my in-laws house, so there are sounds that I don't recognize while I'm asleep. I woke up and looked at my clock. I thought 8:30. That's crazy! Then the morning mist cleared from my eyes and I saw that it was 6:30. You know how on digital clocks the six looks like an eight. (actually, on a digital clock early in the morning any number looks like an eight. For that matter, the numbers all kinda blurr together....I've had too much experience with early mornings and digital clocks for my liking)
But let's face it. I would probably be awake no matter what. I mean. IT'S CHRISTMAS!! (that's right, I yelled it in all caps baby) It really is. No matter how much I learn that Christmas is about Christ, or about the Christmas spirit (which according to all the Christmas specials I've seen this year oddly has nothing to do with christ....in fact, most of our Christmas celebration has nothing to do with Christ. I mean, Christmas trees...Not holy. 25th of December....probably not the actual date of Christ's birth. Disney decorations on the tree....not holy unless you talk to my mother in law. Let's face it, we're celebrating a pagan holiday, so it is only appropriate for the extraneous symbols like, oh, I don't know...Our Lord and Savior and all that He's done for us, to be pushed out. I have an idea. Maybe we should start a new holiday that celebrates the birth of Christ. That seems like a good reason to celebrate...Not that santa isn't cool, but he didn't save the world from anything except crying kids and he's sure made a lot of kids cry (I still remember the mall)) (yes, that was all in parentheses, so go back to the beginning and see what I was saying) Christmas is about waking up early and being excited to get or give presents but always waking up early....really early.
I am half tempted to change all the clocks to 9:00 and send my son around to wake everyone up. But I'll content myself with this blog.
Hey, it's 7:19 on Christmas morning. I have to bug someone...and isn't that what blogs are all about?
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hope you had a very merry christmas.
Merry Christmas! Oh, well, I mean, it is a couple week belated, so Merry Christmas for next year. I like the idea of creating a holiday to celebrate the birth of Christ. Who do we talk to in order to get that setup?
