Christmas Day!!
It's Christmas Day. Christmas Eve was really fun, i had a really awesome night. Today i didn't have to do the data projector at church (i was very thankful for a break because i was up so late last night and have had little sleep this week) and then after coming home i found myself swamped in Christmas Presents. One of the Presents was car seat covers, steering wheel cover, and seat belt covers. I ran up to the car and ripped off the old ones (only to find a tonne of dust underneath) and after vaccuming the car i put on the new ones. Arriving back down into the house i found i still had presents to open. So i continued to open more presents.
Dinner was Marvellous. Turkey and Ham (this is where i am wondering what the Taylor Family [and other vegeterian Families] had for their Christmas Roast), Cranberry Sauce, Salads, Wine, Grapejuice, Nuts, Chocolates, Jokes, and the company of my family. Today was a day where all problems, issues and thoughts of future are placed aside and life is stopped so we may gaze at our lives and look back at what has been achieved, what and who (we) have succeeded in making ourselves and others happy, joyful, and loved. It is a time where we can be joyful in our reminiscences, and the sharing of them with others. For some it is not so joyful when Christmas means eating alone, or with a spare seat at the table. For some the Nostalgia of pain and suffering is relived, and as i sit down on the computer, letting my stomach digest it's contents before i make my way to the rest home, i listen to Mariah Carey Greatest Hits and "Miss You Most At Christmas Time" starts playing, i am aware of the pain that the absence of good memories brings to some. I am aware that one day, maybe sooner than later, i will too feel that pain. But the song Changes to "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and i know that although one day soon i will feel that pain, it is not tonight/today, and today i will be happy, i will be Merry and Joyful, because today is a day to make memories that i will remember in years to come, that i may look back on this day and remember how happy i truly am.
Lest i forget that Today is the day of Life, Death, Love, Rejection, Humility, and so much more. And because of that i know that not always things will be so joyous, but regardless, it will all be essential for a greater purpose, so for those who do feel sad tonight Fear Not for the sadness you feel is essential for Joy, As Elizabeth said so well in one of her blogs Joy goes hand in hand with Sorrow. Likewise you could not be overwhelmed without at some time being lonely, Just as Jesus had to be Humble to be a King, and had to be Rejected for us to be Accepted, That He had to Die to Give us Life, That the Life that was before He came was as Death to the Life after. So Today we must all be content for what we have, or what we have had, because that is (although not the main focus of the day) an important part of Christmas day and what it has become.

Thanks Michelle, Merry Christmas to you too! You've gotta love New Zealand and it's time Zone. I sure am having a great Christmas, i even finished work half an hour early. Unfortunetly now i'm at the stage of not knowing what to do, because the day is almost over and the only place i've got to go is home.
