I was on my way home from a long and exhausting day from work and I was listening to the radio in a daze when this song came on. I have been struggling at work because I have a gnarley blister on my foot that makes walking unbearable and of course, as always, Ive been stressing about school. My mind has been but a fog until today. Does anyone remember when the new movie The Grinch came out? Well, it was in 2000 and I was only 12 years old at the time; its so hard to believe! One year my cousin Savanna and I mustered up the courage and sang this song for our family, we were so silly, we had created a dance to it too (we used to think we were superstars) and the fact that I ever sang in front of anybody those days is shocking! I was always so shy and I would never ever sing in front of anybody. As I was listening and singing the lyrics I began to cry. Im not afraid to admit this because I am a woman and that is what we do. :) I cant believe how much has changed and I cant even remember the last time I saw my cousin. Growing up we were so close even if we rarely saw each other. It got me thinking how I really dont have anyone like that anymore that I am close to and its kind of sad really and I miss it. Its strange how this song and its lyrics make more sense to me these days and though I will always love Christmas it will still never be the same. There have been many traditions lost and I cant remember the last time I really saw any of my cousins that dont live in Waco Tx. I would give anything to be in my grandmas trailer singing awkwardly in front of the family with nothing on my mind but spending time with my twin-sister-cousin and Christmas. Im ready for new traditions and I wish that we could all get together again. I know its wishful thinking and I know people change and move on with their lives but it would still be nice to have a Christmas with all my family. I will always enjoy Christmas but there will always be a special place for the past in my heart. Winter was always my season and always the happiest times in my life growing up. Im ready for my first Christmas as a married woman and I am very lucky for what I have. Cheers to the Good-ole days! What are your Christmas traditions???? What do you miss about Christmas???? youtu.be/jYHJ-yze6eQ
