My Christmas is Ruined

I won’t get what I want for Christmas..

Today is the 20th December 2009. I have made a wish-list and everything. I’ve decorated the house and today we got the Christmas-tree. What a nice Christmas. I just can’t wait til the 24th December! (In Denmark, we celebrate Christmas on the 24th December).

But. I want a guitar for Christmas. A pretty expensive one. Of course I want a lot of other things for Christmas but this is the really big thing that will make my Christmas.

Today I went with my dad to get a gift for his “girlfriend” and to get a Christmas tree. We began to talk about guitars and then suddenly he said.. “The guitar you want is very expensive, and we don’t have money to give that kind of gifts”. This stunned me. I knew that I wasn’t going to get the gift I wanted the most. I’ve been looking at that guitar everywhere on the Internet, watched every video with people playing that guitar on Youtube and looked up the prices at different stores. I REALLY wanted that guitar. But I know now, that I won’t get it.

I had maybe 5 or 6 wishes on my list. So it’s pretty obvious what I will get. My first though was sad and angry. I was angry for a while and I didn’t talk to my dad when we were sitting in the car. We went for the Christmas tree and then I began thinking.

I’m so freaking lucky that I have the opportunity to even MAKE a wish-list. My dad and his girlfriend has money. I don’t know how many, but they have got money. Money enough to celebrate Christmas, decorate the house, set lights up, buy a Christmas tree, invite people, make lots of food, and buy a lot of gifts for me, my brother and everyone else!

How the hell could I even THINK of complaining about that? I’m used to get pretty much what I want but that’s going to be the last time. I don’t think it’s fair to think like that.

A lot of people doesn’t even celebrate Christmas. They go through this cold and depressing month without lights, red and green colors, gifts, nice food and people who care.

I’m so lucky to be me. And no matter what I will get for Christmas I’ll be so freaking happy for that. Cause what people chose to give me is not for me to decide. I will love everything. Even just one gift.

Cause that’s what Christmas is about. Christmas is about giving. Christmas is about showing your love. Christmas is about being together with people that you care about, and that’s what I’m going to do.

Yesterday I bought gifts for the people i care the most for. Cause I found out that it feels much better to give than to get.

I hope you’ve been inspired by my words, dear reader.

Have a happy Christmas, and for gods sake.. Enjoy it!
