So This Is Christmas

With all the hullabaloo about presents and mistletoe around Christmas time, it's hard to know what Christmas is all about. Sure it's about Jesus and spending time with family, but Christmas is about love man. I know I usually say that it always comes back to love, but it does big time aound Christmas. Think about it, you only get presents for those you love, you only recieve presents from those who love you. You spend time with loved ones, travel with loved ones, laugh and smash your empty glasses down with loved ones. I mean you're on Christmas break for a while and who do you want to spend it with? Your annoying roommate? No, loved ones.

So this Christmas, gather around and celebrate the love man.

May your presence be a blessing this Christmas to all who encounter you.
