I dunno, the list doesn’t excite me the way it used to. Much of the list seems pretty frivilous and ridiculous to me. I think I valued christmas so much as a kid because it was a time to show you cared, and a time to show you understood what mattered to the people who mattered to you. But I think the only significant item on my holiday wishlist at the moment, is a sign that I matter to someone. And maybe the feeling that someone matters to me. I’m expecting a very lonely holiday, you see. Though not my first of those.
It’s ironic, given this sentiment, that the exchange of [pre-fab] greeting cards annoys me. Shopping for a symbol of love seems wrong. Symbols of love ought to come from one’s heart, not a factory in topeka or taiwan.
But, those of you showing your love this way, don’t let me rain on your parade. Better to show love than to not, and I have no plans to do even that.
Wow, this is a really down entry.
