Hey everybody! So today my vlog is gonna be more of
a chatty kind. Anyways today's vlog is
about the Christmas spirit. Or the holiday spirit if you want to call it
Umm I know that some people like
that I've talked to recently kinda seem like they lost their
holiday spirit. Recently I was talking with one of my co-workers
and said "oh you know I'm so excited..." yesterday I said "oh I'm so excited
you know I'm gonna go get my Christmas tree soon. Then I can decorate that house!" Then you know just
something to kinda cheer me up. Get in the spirit and she told me
she goes "yeah I don't think I'm celebrating Christmas this year."
I'm like "do you mean you're just not giving gifts." I mean I know some people are having a hard time with the economy.
I mean they just can't afford to give gifts, which that's fine. She said "no I'm just not
gonna be involved at all!" I was like...
ummm ok.
So, I asked her. I'm like "why aren't you gonna be involved?" She's like
"oh I'm just not into it this year." I just thought you know, that's
sad. You know, I mean I don't know maybe some people are starting to
feel like Christmas is becoming more materialistic. It's all about the
gifts. You know, I want this. You know I want the big iPad, I want an iPod, I want a whatever
I want. You know, a laptop! Really expensive things.
That's just kinda unfortunate, because that's not really what the Christmas spirit is about.
Umm you know like last year, I didn't really
I didn't decorate the house at all. I just really
I wasn't really happy. You know anything towards Christmas. You know
and this year, I just decided whatever negativity. Whatever bad
feelings that I have. I'm just not gonna pay attention to those anymore, because its not worth it! You know
its really more important to think about your friends and your family, or
you know whatever. Even if you're just by youself. You know, maybe
try and watch some Christmas tv specials. Or you know just
try and really think positive about anything related to Christmas or the holiday time.
You know maybe you're giving gifts to other people. You know I mean
its not about gifts. Its about giving! That's the main point!
It's about givng things. You know like for example
today we went ahead to go buy our Christmas tree. I wanted to make sure
you know I had a specific budgeted amount of money for my Christmas tree. Only had
$60 in cash and that was it. So, we went ahead and we found
a Christmas tree and it was cheaper than $60. I'm like cool! So we went ahead
and bought some more of you know like the string lights for on the tree.
Whatever, so we got those, and oh um
I forgot we got the, you know, angel topper for the tree or whatever. So,
we got all that and I thought it was gonna be less than $60. So, I gave it to the woman
and this was just like a little local tree farm. I gave it to her and she's you know
checking out and she goes $63.79 or something. I'm like ohh
umm I just happen to find like $2 more in there and I go
"umm do you mind..." like you know she had already put it in the bag.
So I'm like "do you mind taking out one of the lights. We don't have enough money. I only have
$62. I'm sorry." She goes "you know what.. don't worry about it."
I was like "are you sure??" She goes "yeah, don't worry about it, its fine."
I was like "thanks". She goes "you know,
at one time or another, we were all in the same boat." You know
we've all had the same experience is what she meant. I was like wow
i guess that is true. I was like "thanks!" It kinda just like filled me with joy!
You know, that's the kinda thing that I'm talking about. That's the Christmas spirit!
You know, so hopefully this year, maybe if you're feeling
depressed, or if you just... maybe you just lost someone in your
family or something happend. Try and remember that true Christmas holiday
spirit and what the real meaning of is is. You know, try and be positive
about it and if you don't have anybody else to talk to
comment here. Talk with me. If you want to chat or something!
Just let me know. I understand what that feeling is, how sometimes you just don't
feel into it, about the holidays. I get it. So, but it's just
really important to try your best to really, really get into
the true spirit means. Hopefully I kinda helped you out a bit.
If you guys have any suggestions
for ideas of how to get that Christmas spirit, holiday
spirit going go ahead and let me know. Comment below. Let me know what you're
thinking and maybe I can try and incorporate those into my life! So thanks everyone
I know it's short today but hopefully I cheered you up a bit. So,
thank guys bye!
