Christmas

I'd like to start by wishing anyone and everyone a merry and wonderful Christmas. If there is one day that I never wish someone to have a bad day for it would be today. I hope everyone gets what or who they wanted and that they get to spend it with their loved ones. Now I have never known the feeling of not being with my loved ones for Christmas, however I got to experience it this year. Today didn't even feel like Christmas to me. Just another saturday night that I am working a midshift for.

I got some wonderful gift cards for Christmas this year sent to me by family. As well as some wonderful baked goods from my mom. I asked for a lot and truly expected nothing so i definitely got more than I had ever hoped. But the one thing that my heart desired was not achieved. I was hoping to have a special someone to spend the small amount of the day that I was off with. Now hopefully one day I'll find it, who knows. But I have learned the true understanding of don't take for granted what you have while you have it. However I have been able to spend it with some friends that I have made since being in the Navy but let me tell you that it's just no where near the same! And please don't get me wrong, i am not at all ungrateful for anything I have or the people I have been around as they are all some amazing people. But I just wish i could of been at home in Denver or even St. Louis or San Diego with the rest of my family instead of working for Christmas night.

Now on to a happier note, I have gotten an amazing Christmas present from God himself this year. It is snowing, right when I needed it most. Feeling as homesick as I was it started snowing on Christmas the first time there has been snow on the ground during Christmas day since 1966. A more than amazing feeling being from CO knowing that I get to see at least a couple hours of white Christmas in 2 years, and it just happened to be when I need it most.

So on that note I'll leave y'all be. I hope everyone had an emaculate Christmas and that you got to spend time with your loved ones. Enjoy and savour that time as it can be swiped from you even quicker than it came!
