yule is such a weird word

happy Christmas, everyone. Looks like it's been a while since I've left my mark on the blogger world, and I forget any irrelevant anecdotes that I've been saving up to amuse me from time to time. Yes, today is Christmas....but it's that weird "after-everything-happens" time when the presents are opened, the family has left, and you're back to normalcy again. Not that it's bad or anything. I'm sitting at home by myself right now and I'm not complaining. I guess it feels a little weird not being home for Christmas, but I did see my family earlier today. I'm so thankful for them, especially that they're all so wonderful and we don't live too far away from each other. Sometimes I hear stories about other families and my heart breaks, especially around this time of year. I go onto Yahoo! today and see the top 10 search words....one of them is "depression". How sad is that? If I was forced to write some cheesy song about my "one Christmas wish" it would definitely be that everyone was with someone who loved them on Christmas. Fortunately, I believe that is actually possible since there's a loving God out there who's always around. Or so I've been told. I just wish more people would believe it too. Then it might even be easier for me. And definitely easier for everyone who's realized they can not make it in this world on their own...
