The night before christmas

Christmas Eve, it is well known. But this is the night before Christmas.

In fact whilst I am writing this. A family somewhere is sending their child upstairs to go to bed. He most likely excited for he knows that tomorrow their will be a large sack at the bottom of his bed and lots of amazing new toys to play with. In fact somewhere at this moment a child could be excited because they know that Santa is coming tonight. And to finally answer the age old question of his existence they are most likely planning something to capture Santa and to discover the answer to that question which plagues their mind.

Christmas is only time of the year these days that we get to see some of those family members who we have somehow managed to avoid the rest of the year. Why could that possibly be? Is it that somehow in this chaotic and fast moving world we still have preserved the joy of gathering together and enjoying what you can of each others company. Or is it that we have become chained to a tradition that we have long forgotten why it was started in the first place?

Well since coming back from university for Christmas and enjoying what I can on free food. I have realised that indeed Christmas is about many things. It is not only about the birth of baby Jesus, but also about family. It is also about eating too much and then suffering from indigestion afterwards however, that is beside the point of this entry.

So whether you are on you own this Christmas away from family or current staying with family I wish you the merriest Christmas possible.
