As of this writing, it is 1 Day,1 Hour, and 1 Minute until Christmas Day. I can hardly wait.
This season I have done my very best to get into the Christmas spirit and stay in the Christmas spirit. Some years, I have became depressed or frustrated as Christmas approached. There have been some holidays that one would have expected me to say “Bah Humbug” and that’s a shame because I really love the Christmas time of year. But, sometimes I have let the spirit of the season be replaced with money worries, possessions(or lack thereof) and my general lot in life. For Christmas, 2009; I decided in September that I would strive to ignite the spirit of Christmas early, and carry through with it until the New Year and beyond. So far, so good.
For the past week, I’ve been posting Countdown to Christmas updates on my Twitter page as well as my Facebook status. I think some people found it annoying, but others looked forward to it.
I’ve enjoyed making this past week’s “On The Road With Dave” entries Christmas-related and over the next two days, my other side–blogs will have a Christmas update or two.
On top of the Christmas Spirit that has infested me, I’m also looking forward to tomorrow and Christmas Eve, as it is my wedding anniversary. All in all, I’m a pretty lucky guy, with lots to be thankful for, and pretty damn happy about it all.
