"There's nothing here to take for granted, with each breath that we take"

Christmas is supposed to be a fun holiday, full of happiness and cheer, but this year I'm honestly just not feeling it. It's Christmas Eve, and even then, I don't feel any of the spirit. I hope tonight will be better though, although my family is out of town. I'm just spending time with my mom, my dad, my sister, and a few Jewish friends who have nothing else to do on Christmas Eve. :P (Melissa and Rachel). I haven't made an entry lately just because I get home so tired every night I just don't feel like sitting down and collecting my thoughts, I really need to get back into this blogging deal, and more regularly, that's going to be one of my resolutions for the new year to consistently write down my thoughts on this blog.

Lately since I've come back from Georgia Tech, I've been hanging around home during the day and going out at night time, but now that it's closer to the holiday my mom has been off of work. We went out shopping a few days ago for clothing, since she kept telling me about how I hadn't asked for anything for Christmas. I am going to get some nice new clothing for Christmas, which I could always use, so I'm pretty thankful.

Besides that I've been hanging out with some friends too, I've been becoming really close with one of my friends Natasha, and she's a fantastic friend. She knows how to cheer me up when I'm bummed out, and she's really fun to talk with. Danny has been busy as ever with work, so we haven't hung out all too much, but we really need to get on that. Hopefully we'll both have a day off of work, and we can hang out. Besides that I've just seen some old buddies I haven't seen in a long while, and I really need to see more of them.

Christmas is supposed to be a happy holiday, and while I haven't been entirely sad at any given point, I've had my ups and downs, but for the majority of the time I've been very, very happy. I don't know why I haven't been keeping the spirit, but hopefully with everything that happens in the upcoming hours I'll feel the spirit more.
