Some of my recent posts have talked about what a Holy Day is, traditions, and fun memories. Yet I have to admit that I find it frustrating that people around me, whether in a daily capacity or just when I'm walking through the Mall, seem to not have a clue.
Darn it. Oh well.
Am I getting grumpy in my old age? Am I cynical because of working the Holiday (although I did find that a nearby Church is having a later Chriustmas Eve Service that will work out great so that I can go and worship)? Or have I just not gotten enough of "A Christmas Story" with Ralphie wanting his BB Gun?
BUT... That is why there is the Advent season - to remind us to prepare for the coming of Christ; to be ready for His return. That's why each Sunday of Advent has a theme to it - Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.
So as I wait with HOPE, striving to be at PEACE, knowing the JOY that is in my heart because of the LOVE we receive from Christ, I know that even though I might seem like a Grinch, those who "just don't get it" will just give me a great reason to laugh. =)
