Since Thanksgiving is coming up here shortly, I figured it was ok to listen to Christmas music. So on Friday on my way home from work (looooong long drive. About to get longer) I turned on 102.9...and as I'm listening to these classics and singing along, I realized something.
Pretty much every Christmas song that I love love love is...romantic? What the heck is wrong with this picture?
I really like Christmas time. When I was younger it was magical, and now being older...it is kind of romantic. I wish it was more Christ centered, and it IS Christ centered for me, but...there is a very romantic feel to Christmas time. I've never really thought about it much, except for when I was 15 and I was sad I couldn't be with my boyfriend on Christmas (haha...ohhh teenie boppers). But listening to this romantic Christmas music made me realize...I haven't bee "single" on Christmas since I was fourteen.
It's a very...very...strange feeling. I'm not quite sure what to do with this feeling. I don't like this feeling. It's weird.
Now you have the rare opportunity to direct ALL of your love and attention to the one who really matters this season.
ReplyDeleteAnd now that you are MARRIED to Timothy Kim Joon Soo Mertz...I think a Christmas Wedding Reception in Minnesota is completely appropriate!
