All I want for Christmas

During this holiday season, we all become a little stress trying to find the perfect gift for the one's that we love. Yet, we sometimes miss the most important gift of all, and that is just letting the other person know that you love and appreciate them. This year, there will be no traditional Christmas for me. No Christmas tree or presents under the tree. No lights to put up or ornaments I made when I was three. Christmas is going to be a little different this year because my family is being forced to move out of our home by the landlord. (Talk about a Scrooge) He wants to give the house we have made our home to one of his friends. He is giving us until the end of the year to pack up and leave. It's already Dec. 5th, and we still haven't found a new home yet. But, why should we be stressed? I realized that we are blessed to even have shelter for the holiday season and have each other for moral support. I think of all the people in New Orleans and who were robbed of a home and their family. How ridiculous of me to get depressed when I know that we at least have a shot. Though this is probably going to be the toughest season that our family will experience, I still praise God that we are alive and well. That at the end of this dark tunnel, a magnificent light will appear. All I want for Christmas is nothing for myself, for I know that I have a God who will provide. It is for those who have nothing and who would love to be in my position if it was at all possible. Sometimes I feel like crying, but I shall save those tears for humanity. That we will be brothers and sister, and love one another. What is Christmas without love? I may be rambling now, so I'll end here. Merry Christmas everybody, I hope you have a wonderful year.
