Christmas this year feels particularly strange. Here's why.


Ahh Christmas. One of the only events during the year that I look forward to...A LOT. Maybe because it usually comes right after my final exams where it feels as though the whole weight of the world has just been lifted off my shoulders. Or just the fact that something about the occasion sounds just about right in every aspect. Perhaps even both. Who knows?


Now I know it might be a little frustrating for those of you reading this because c'mon right? What's it so difficult for me to say why I like Christmas when there's literally so many things to enjoy from candies, jaw-dropping decorations, and of course how can we all forget: gifts or presents.


Well...let's just pause for a minute here. Look back at the last word I mentioned in the list. That's right. Presents...gifts. Whatever you want to call it. There's your answer.


Looking back over the years, I can honestly say that I'd be lying if I had never pestered my parents for Christmas gifts as that is simply as far away from the truth as it gets. Year in, year out there'd always be something I wanted so badly and it genuinely felt as if nothing could stop me from getting what seemed a necessity rather than a luxury.


Not this Christmas though. Oh no, definitely not. Sure, there are certain things I'd love to own but never have I felt the desire or need to go hunting down for them. Why? Because I value the health and wellbeing of myself, my family, and friends above any of these gifts to be quite honest. And as long as everyone is in the pink of health, that's enough for me already.


"Strange" huh? Well you could say that, but I'd rather the word "matured" for thinking like this.


Merry Christmas guys!!!
