BJ Surfergirl's Christmas Message
Surfergirlbj1
I'd just like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all my special friends, & readers of my blogspot (oh and a politically correct "Merry enforced Public Holiday" to those few who are non-Christian/atheists in our midst :D )
I know Christmas means different things to people - like Bleachy I am exasperated by the overtaking of commercialism to the point that even the pastor of Hillsong seems to put Santa ahead of Jesus Christ.
Yet here I am surrounded by Christmas presents under the tree, secretly wishing that one of them might contain something by Swarovski. Its a vicious cycle, it seems to take too much strength to break out of.
Christmas Eve is a difficult day for me as it was my Dad's birthday. Its one of those days where I dont precisely know what to say or feel, except to give thanks for the many ways he supported & guided me through life which remains part of me always.
I know I whinge like mad about some of my family, but naturally I love them to bits in their own way. My mum is here from NZ for Christmas and I guess I should be grateful for every moment I have with her.
On a brighter note - what a great year this has been in many ways. I have gotten to know most of you who are reading this, for the first time.
I value the friendships I have made immensely and look forward to 2006.
With love and sincerity I wish you a truly Cool Yule :)
