Merry Christmas everyone! Perhaps not all of my readers celebrate this joyous day, so I wish that those of you that don’t celebrate Christmas have a happy holiday for whichever holiday you enjoy celebrating! I also know a couple of Jehovah’s Witnesses, so I hope you have an enjoyable three-day weekend! This one’s going to be a bit of a challenge for me, as I’m rather loaded on alcoholic eggnog at the time being, and I’ve also had a shot of single barrel bourbon and a shot of whiskey from one of my favorite micro breweries on the Oregon coast, [Rogue]. I might have a bit of a time getting my thoughts together, but I still have a pretty solid internal editor when I’m hammered. To get to the nitty-gritty, what does Christmas mean to me? Family Spending time with my family is definitely the most enjoyable part of the Christmas season for me. Last night, I went up north with my mom to Mukilteo and spent time with my aunt and uncle’s side of the family. Most of them are my cousins and 2nd cousins and a lot of them are children, so it’s nice to be surrounded by such youthful energy! We all got together for a nice meal and many desserts, though I had to do my best to eat well since I’ve been trying to keep my weight down after last week’s indiscretions. I’m only up a half of a pound since yesterday, so I did pretty well, though I think this morning’s nogscapades might ruin me. Speaking of this morning, I spent it with my parents and we all had a good time opening presents around the live Christmas tree. It’s on the small side, but once things warm up outside, it can be planted and will hopefully flourish outside. Last year’s tree didn’t end up so well after trying that, but it’s still hanging in there. Presents I got a pretty good haul of things, though I think the present I’m most excited about is Bruce Lee’s book entitled [Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries on the Martial Way  ]. It’s a book that describes his fighting style and his philosophies on fighting and life. I can’t wait to read it!Other notable gifts would be [Tekken 6  ] for Xbox 360, as I’ve been a fan of the series since the 2nd one for PlayStation and it’s one of the two fighting games that I’m actually halfway decent at (the other being games in the SoulCalibur series).I also received a copy of Slayer’s new album [World Painted Blood  ] from my mom, which is weird considering I used to drive her crazy in the mornings listening to Slayer as a teen while she was going through menopause. I guess that’s all water under the bridge, since that was so long ago.Enjoying Christmas for family and presents may not be the most traditional reasons for Christmas being celebrated, but I’m not an especially religious person and I really enjoy the warm and familial surroundings. I’m at a point in my life where I’m busy pursuing so many different things that I rarely get a chance to slow down and enjoy the people that mean the most to me in life, and the holidays (especially Christmas) afford me that opportunity. So, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Discuss this post at [The Forum of Jason Vincion]! Posted on December 25th, 2009. |
