Christmas season

Okay, so I am not the best about keeping up with this journaling thing. I have no excuses, I just dont do it as well as I should.

Today, i just wanted to jot down a few reminders to myself of how thankful I am at this time of year for the wonderful spirit that just seems to be everywhere. It seems that everyone tries a little harder to be nicer, more giving, more caring, etc. I love this Christmas Season and the best that it brings out in everyone. The Spirit of Christ seems to constantly be flowing from so many people. I love the lights, the carols, the Christmas tree and decorations, and all that comes with this time of year.

My one wish every year is that we could just extend Christmas through until July. If only we could live in such peace and happiness throughout the whole year and not just at this time. I try to maintain these wonderful feelings throughout the year, but I know that I do fail at it alot of the times. It is so easy to get caught up in the world and go along with life, forgetting to be nicer, kinder, etc. I am grateful for the reminder at the end of each year of how we should treat each other throughout the upcoming year. I will strive harder to be kinder, friendlier, happier, and more grateful this next year.
