CHRISTmas: Remember when...

I can't help but reminisce on how the Christmas season used to feel... in 2011, people are just way too caught up in their emotions. Instead of reflecting on Jesus' birth, everyone is reflecting on the death of loved ones and their lack of money! What the heck??...

Remember when people used to look forward to the first day of December!! That's the day that Christmas music officially started... the day Christmas movies started playing! The OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN TO FREAKIN' CHRISTMAS!!

Remember when being with family and enjoying traditions were all that really mattered!! I do... Every year I look forward to baking cookies for Santa, picking out matching outfits with my immediate family... and putting up the Christmas tree!! I have ALWAYS been responsible for placing the tree topper! lol Yep.. make the tall, skinny girl do it!

I'm sorry guys, but I am so sad for those people who can't find joy this Christmas season. I'm sad that life has distracted us from the REAL reason for Christmas!! It's crazy, man!!

Remember when Jesus was the reason for the season?? lol So lame, but 4real... remember when people focused on THAT TRUTH??

I remember ALLAHDAT!!

I WANT CHRISTMAS BACK... lol you know... the Christmas in the '90's! aaahahahaha! That just made me laugh out loud for real! Christmas in the 90's?? What the heck??

Anywhooo... I don't want much for Christmas!! If you can make my fiance' magically appear that would be awesome.. but if not.. how about finding joy this holiday season!! Enjoy the family that you have!! Those who have already passed away would want you to enjoy this season! If you don't have the money to buy gifts, simply share that! I'm sure your family and friends know your heart!! Go participate in an outreach project! I promise you will forget your problems rather quickly!

Anywhoo... I'm done!

I just love LOVE!

Heeeeeeey.... (now that, THAT is out of the way...)

My company's "Holiday Party" was last Saturday and it was...umm... okay! They had a live band that played songs that I didn't know. The food was not the best either. The only thing that kept me from leaving were the games! We gambled with fake money in hopes to win more raffle tickets to place in the prize bowls... Speaking of that... the prizes weren't that amazing this year either. Last year the prizes included paying light bills and student loans, they were giving away airline tickets, and even had one of those money-blower booth thingys! This year the best thing was the iPad2.

I met this man though.

He was standing behind me in the drink line. I could tell he was the type that liked making small talk with random people. I can't remember how he started the conversation. I do remember asking him if he worked for the company. He told me that he didn't, but his wife was "the voice of the company." I thought he was saying that she worked in the call center. He looked around the room to point her out to me, but she was nowhere to be found. He said, "I don't know where she is, but she's wearing all black and she's BEAUTIFUL!" Yep... he said beautiful just like that... with all the excitement in the world. THAT completely melted my heart. He said they have been married for like 15 years.<-- (don't quote me on that part!) He went on to share how madly in love he STILL IS and how she makes him a better man! I LOVED IT!! He was a very happy type of guy. It's hard to explain his personality... He had a lot of joy... lol I'll put it that way! As he continued to talk, I thought he reminded me of this lady named Minnie.

I screamed... "MINNIE! Your wife is Minnie isn't she?" lol I WAS RIGHT! She is just as happy as he is! They are like the same, but different. She is so sweet and joyful. I absolutely love her. And like he said, she is "the voice of MedSolutions." She's the receptionist. She and I were once on the same team when we worked in a different department. Can you believe that?? I knew who his wife was based on his personality... his heart... his sweet spirit! He is who God made for her!! That's how it's supposed to be! Wow! I love it!

Anywhoo... I can't get over that conversation. I can't get over how madly in love they are and how much they complement each other! It is amazing!

Love is amazing! True love is amazing!!

:)

Anywhoo... Just thought I'd share what I've been thinking about for the last three days! lol

Until next time,
