FlickrThe Christmas Spirit
I've been having a lot of trouble this year with getting into Christmas.
This is weird for me; Christmas is usually my favorite time of the year. Everyone's merry and happy, families are together, there's a certain magic in the air. This year it feels like no-one is trying; like Christmas has been some lights strung in my living room and the need to buy presents and maybe some catered lunches in my office. I blame the recession (also the Commies); I assume that somehow, in most budgets, Christmas just got cut completely. I don't even know if I've seen any ornaments.
But this...somehow, just this tiny little video was enough for me to get myself into the Christmas spirit. It's silly, it's sometimes obvious, but it's creative and it's well-wishing and it's just plain cute; and I think maybe that was what I needed. Perhaps Christmas really will be Merry this year.
I think I'll go see a tree tomorrow. I can't afford one of my own...but maybe I can go see someone else's to tide me over until I decorate the one at my folks' house.
Yeah. That'll do.

Also, you should watch Elf. Jackson and I watched it one year and were inspired to cut out snowflakes and make a paper chain to decorate our otherwise very plain and undecorated apartment. That movie gives me such a warm feeling. And it's hilarious. I think it will get you in the spirit.
