I guess it’s been a while since I last said anything about myself on this. Well here it goes. It’s just about that Christmas time. Why do I like Christmas? About 5% of it has anything to do with the presents. Obviously, they are nice, but that not nearly that important. So why do I like Christmas? I like the warm family feeling. I like how everyone wants to be there (usually). So what is Christmas about? It’s about family, it’s about good food, a blazing fire burning all day long, and it’s about catching up with those who are close to us. That all being said I want to be spending Christmas with you. You are a very large part of who is special to me, who I care about, and who make me happy. I wish there wouldn’t be all kinds of death and fire raining from the sky if I was to go to Norway for Christmas, but as my mother pointed out, this is likely the last Christmas we may have together for a while. My brother quite likely will end up somewhere like Denver as of next year which isn’t the other side of the world, but it’s still a lot more difficult to make it home for holidays. So, I guess the whole point of this post is this: even though we may not be together this christmas, I hope it’ll be the last one apart.
