‘So this is Christmas…’
This is about the time every year when I am slapped in the face and reminded what Christmas is actually about.
This time, it took an episode of ‘Glee’ to do the slapping. (yes, I occasionally watch Glee when my DVR is empty of left over 60 minutes episodes and random Sunday afternoon movies)
Just like Fin, I wanted an I-Pad 2. But ive quickly come to realize that the best things in life are not $500, paper thin and hold 16Gb worth of stuff i can live without.
Its about passing a few bucks to the guy standing along Mercer on my way home from work. Its about applauding the Mariachi band under the Space Needle for a few songs when no one else did. And better yet, its about watching the smile of the woman behind in line today after I paid for her coffee when she didn’t expect it. Everything I gave today wasn’t worth $500. But when you think about it, why does it need to be.
I’m filled with Glee again this Christmas.
