As the holiday season quickly approaches its peak and soon comes to a close, I can't help but reflect on how wonderful this time of year truly is. Houses are filled with laughter and the sweet smell of baked goods. Hearts are filled with love for one another and the hope for a romantic gesture from that special someone. And children's eyes are filled with wonder at the beautiful lights and Christmas trees that you can find nearly everywhere you go.
It's amazing to look back on past Christmases and think about how much I have grown as a person. Of course I still could use a lot of improvement. But rather than being preoccupied with what I will be able to unwrap in the morning, this Christmas I'm more excited to see the look of excitement and joy on my parent's faces as they open the gifts I got for them. I realize now that the holidays are about so much more than myself.
Of course I still think about myself, but who doesn't? I hope to get good gifts, I want that special someone to kiss me on New Years Eve. But I also realize that if these things don't happen, it's not the end of the world. I have amazing people in my life. My friends and family are there for me no matter what. In the end, what more could I really ask for? The way I see it, I have all I could ever need.
