The Presents opened, the dinner eaten, bellies filled, lots of laughs. The guests leave and the house once again gets cleaned. What a weird feeling of Christmas. This year we focused on each other instead of receiving gifts. Why? Because as many people don't know Christmas comes down to one thing. Sure it's a pagan holiday but isn't a lot of the holidays we celebrate and love first started by pagans? My family has always tried to make Christmas very simple while taking out the paganism out. We try and make it family time with some of the fun Christmas feels. Christmas shows the one time of year we aren't angry or hurt by words by family members. I'm mean we're too busy enjoy our simple and special time together. This year was different. Many many changes that made it hard for me. I don't do well with change, I've made myself sick countless times because I'm unable to grasp ahold of something changing and it either causes stress or creates anxiety. With each new change or step this year has brought me, I'm so happy that I had a great Christmas. So what is Christmas? I've always been raised to see it as you have to spend it with family and we open gifts or read the Christmas story. But I'm Also hearing as I grow older, it's the gift of giving. But my family never celebratesit as that. What is Christmas?
