I've always loved Christmas eve. I don't know if it's because of all the anticipation that has been leading up to the day ahead or because all the frantic chasing has disappeared. Either way, for this one night everything runs in slow motion and it's definitely something worth taking notice of.

Working in retail during the Christmas season can sometimes make you feel as if you are on the verge of insanity. It can completely drive you to resenting Christmas and every little thing derived from it. I've been saying to others that I feel like Christmas can sometimes bring out the worst in people.
I was serving a lady and her two sons when, she told me that they had just picked up her husband from the hospital today and that he was very sick. She told me that him coming home was all that they wanted for Christmas and they were very thankful. I think moments like these really put things into perspective when your outlook on things have been contaminated by trivial nonsense that doesn't even deserve a second thought or contemplation. You only have one life so live it and stop complaining when you have so much to be thankful for :)
