It really didn’t feel like Christmas this year, and I’m sure there are a lot of people that agree with me. It felt like it just sort of came and left in a hurry. Some people are blaming it on the lack of snow, which I think is ta very feasible explanation.
People for the most part familiarize Christmas with winter, and winter with snow. Now when you don’t have the snow, then it doesn’t really feel like winter. And if it doesn’t feel like winter, does it really feel like Christmas? That’s what I’m wondering.
I know many people this year that wished for snow because they felt that Christmas was incomplete without it, and for people that are use to having a White Christmas, it’s no wonder this year felt lacking. To be honest, I can’t even remember the last time there was a White Christmas.
The weather has been really weird this year too. I mean it has only snowed less than a handful of times this season, and there has even been days this week where I went out to walk my dog in just jeans and a t-shirt, and I wasn’t even cold!
But personally, I don’t really have the Christmas spirit because I don’t even celebrate Christmas at all. I sort of see it as a holiday that has corporations luring consumers to spend excessive amounts of money on materialistic things. There are others that will argue saying that Christmas is a time to spend time with your family and friends, which is a valid reason as well. But when you think about it, do people really need a holiday to order to spend time with people they care?

I’ve had this song on my iPod for ages, and only lately have I really listened to the lyrics trying to figure out what Landon was trying to say. It’s such a simple, yet beautiful song, and I think many people can relate to some extent the feeling of not being able to let go of someone.
