Since I can remember Christmas is supposed to be thee time to stop worrying about thee impossibilities and believe in thee unbelievable; a jolly white fat man that needs a good shave, a red nose reindeer, a virgin birth, and even miracles. You give up what your going through and replace a scowl withe a Genuine smile and a sincere "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays" to friends , family, and even strangers. You ignore enemies, stop doubting and inspire those around you. Christmas has never been that for me.

Christmas has always been thee awesome presents that I get. The things I could never get throughout thee year because of my families financial struggles. One of my greatest Christmas memories was when I was a freshman in High-school and I honestly thought we were getting maybe one or two things for Christmas but as our Christmas chain link was getting closer thee thee last golden ring there were more and more presents being added to thee tree. The Blue Hotel was a fairly large house withe a decent sized living room. Our tree was placed right in thee front window for all thee neighbors and passing cars to enjoy. Presents were littered everywhere. You couldn't even enter thee house withe out having to step over a present so you wouldn't stumble (most stumbled none thee less). Okay sure call me materialistic but who isn't? Like I give sh*t.

Just because i want these things during Christmas doesn't mean I understand thee true meaning on THE Holiday Season. In thee end no matter what I get I know Christmas is Christmas when I spend it withe my Family and even though my aunts, uncles, cousins, MY cousin are a thousand miles away from me, I still have my brothers, sisters, parents, and most important my Godson. Christmas for me truly is Dec 24the, it's staying up all night dancing to Spanish music. It's Baking cookies and making my 'world' famous Hot Chocolate (Swiss Miss, Marshmallow, Whip Cream, and Abuelitas Chocolate), ironing out masa on corn husk, filling it withe mole. Smelling thee Menudo and Pasole cooking in thee background while friends of thee family visit us during later hours. It's getting thee chance to open one small present when thee time turns to 10PM. It's finally eating dinner and afterwards wasting time listening to Christmas music and or watching Christmas related movies. Sometimes we even watch old family movies. Usually around 11:54PM someone notices thee time and we all start bugging out. Then at 11:59:50 we start counting down, 5-4-3-2-1! we all fly thee closest present that has our name, rip it open, admire it for a good two seconds then moving on to thee next. Christmas is leaving all thee rapping paper anywhere we drop it and annoyingly showing our parents what we got and presenting it to thee camera that's held in their hands. After we're all done and compare present maybe goof around a little. The parents hit thee hay, and a couple hours later so do we. Christmas is making up five hours later and spending Christmas day hanging out and playing withe out new possessions. THAT is what Christmas is to me.

So this Christmas I really am trying to be in thee spirit, 'Tis thee season and all. It's kinda hard though I just want to be in my old house, surrounded be old friends, old memories. So trying to get all happy crappy I downloaded over a hundred Christmas songs and a few movies. I've been playing them non-stop for a while now and it has helped a little. I've been encouraging my sibling to also be thee same way because I can totes be a scrooge, she thee scrooge on PCP. A few weeks ago we lost our connection to Television, soon after we lost our connection to thee world; Internet. Just recently we lost water supply to our house, just imagine nine people two of which our babies, withe one bathroom and no water. It's pretty image neh? Even with all this going on we're still strong, we'll carry on, and this is what it means to be a Garcia.
