The one thing I want to do after a long, happy Christmas day is just sigh. I'm wearing new clothes, eating new candy, and experiencing new things. But the one thing that never changes from year to year is that timeless phrase, "Merry Christmas!" I'm reluctant to say that I've been lenient on the usage of it this season. But sometimes, when I actually did, the scenario didn't call for it.
Like when these Jehovah's witnesses showed up at our door, (for a lack of a better word) advertising a program showing Christ's life, chronologically. We, being LDS, turned them down, of course. But then in my stupidity I forgot they don't celebrate holidays (would some care to drop a line on why?), and wished them a merry Christmas on their way out. When they didn't return the favor, it dawned on me. Duh! But it was too late. My little bro shut the door, and I couldn't apologize. I felt pretty bad.
Other than that, the recipients of my Christmas cheer celebrated Christmas themselves. And I'm glad to say that this Christmas will go down in my books as one of the best ever, and not just because I got a PSP. And I hope that it was the same for all of you.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
