This year has gone by so quickly that I don’t even feel as if I have left the month of January yet. Time is moving so fast that I haven’t really been able to cherish any moments so far. Maybe with age comes this feeling of time being sped up or it’s all in my head. I don’t know if I will ever know for sure.
But I’m looking forward to Christmas this year because I know I will have time to become aware of my surroundings and be thankful for what I gained this year.
Even though the world suffered through a lot in 2016 and many of us want it to be over I’m glad that this holiday didn’t pass me by yet. Christmas is even more special than Thanksgiving so I know people that I love will surround me. I will have time to cherish Christmas Eve and Day. I won't have to run to work or finish a paper. My entire time will be devoted to spending as much time as I can with my family.
The year is quickly ending but that doesn’t mean that we should just get ready for 2017 already. There are a couple weeks left and I am looking forward to them. Even though I am sad at New York not having a white Christmas I can still find the Christmas spirit within me and remember everything about the holiday this year.
As kids, we look forward to the gifts and forget about the family that surrounds us. Now as an adult, I’ve barely thought about receiving anything. I just want to spend time with my family and eat some good food. It’s crazy how time works. I never in a million years thought that I would ever feel that way. I’m glad I still have Christmas left. I’m looking forward to it and I hope you are too.
