So I really should have put something on here on Thanksgiving but I thought was really original and things have been super busy. The day after Thanksgiving my family has a tradition that means so much to me. My mom, dad, brother, and I all set up the Christmas stuff.
When I say Christmas stuff, I don't mean a tree and a few lights. In our attic 11 months of the year we some how store an entire house up there. We change our mugs, OUR MUGS! And towels.... and wall hangings.... and pillows.....yeah.... everything. We have this old manger scene that I would set out for as long as I can remember. I am not sure why it means so much to me but when I see it I feel like it is the most important thing we set out.
Now this changing of the house takes a full day. Tradition is for lunch we order pizza and once we finish we watch It's A Wonderful Life. I could have an entire blog on classic Christmas movies. Not the weird new ones cough*Elf*cough sorry but in my personal opinion Will Ferrell can't play any other character and it really isn't that funny.
It's A Wonderful Life is the classic Christmas, as a kid it is really hard to grasp it. I have watched it at least once for the past 19 years and not until I got older did I really learn to appreciate it. George Bailey realizes he is not in control of his life. He doesn't get the dream job he wanted, nor does he get to travel the world. But unknowingly he touched so many lives, just being himself. He didn't expect anything, it was just an instinct to help people.
Life is incredible, life is wonderful. Thank God for being in charge of my life because I might know what I want but in the end I know he is in charge. No matter what happens to me He knows what is best.
