Last Friday after my last class I got in my car and drove to the shopping center. On the way, the radio station said some station in Missouri or Wisconsin or some other irrelevant state had already switched over to Christmas music.
And, well, I figure that if a radio station has already switched over....I can switch over.
For those of you who are unaware: I fucking love Christmas. Specifically, I love Christmas music. Specifically, "Silver Bells" and "Snoopy's Christmas." I don't care that I'm Jewish, I don't care that the words to some of the songs I love go against my religion...... I remember that I used to LOVE the Christmas show my elementary school did every year, and I remember one year I volunteered to sing a Christmas song with my friends just because I love Christmas songs so much.
I love Christmas. Christmas Eve especially. It didn't matter to me when I was little that there would be no presents for me in the morning, I LOVED spending Christmas Eve with our Christian friends, and then running back over there in the morning to see waht my friends got.
I don't know. I guess what I like about Christmas is that for a brief period of time, everyone goes out of their way to be nice to each other. Everything just seems nicer at Christmas, and there always seems to be more hope for peace....
I think the only time I've ever felt uncomfortable about Christmas music was when my mom and I were riding around in the car around Christmas and this song came on:
And we just looked at each other with the most appalled stares.
This song appalls us, but we have no problems belting things like "CHRIST THE LORD!" in songs like "O Come All Ye Faithful."
Oh man....there's a chance I might get to go back to Israel over winter break for a week or so, but it'd be over Christmas. And I remember how badly I missed Christmas last year when I was in Israel over it.....so....now I'm torn.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!
