Holiday Spirit

I haven't noticed many people in the holiday spirit this year.
I don't know if it's the lack of snow (mum assures me this weather is relatively normal for this time of year).
Some people are miserable, some are sad, some are trying to drink their problems around and a very few of us are really happy and content with our lives.
It seems like we've all be focusing on what we don't have lately. I think it's partially the result of our consumer society (we won't be happy until we have everything we want and there's always more to want) and partially our negative outlooks (the world is shitty).
I'm not prone to negativity, but I did have a small bout Wednesday night (also due to a bad case of PMS). Luckily, I woke up the next morning feeling fine. Thank goodness for my optimism!

I figure, I have good friends, a good man who really cares about me (and I don't have to prove that to anyone by making it official on facebook), the most amazing puppy, enough money for the moment, a comfortable home and good parents, a beautiful body and personality, and I'm well on my way to figuring out what I really want to do with my life....so why complain?

It's time to finish up exams, (I don't stress, because what's the point? Stressing only makes you more likely to do worse) bake holiday cookies and spend time with friends and family.
