It doesn't feel like Christmas. No matter how many Christmas songs I listen to, no matter how many mall I see the decorations at. It's not Christmas. I have a theory on why, it all relates back to teachers. Okay, in elementary school, every year we had a little play or preformance EVERY YEAR, and getting ready for that was a Christmas tradition which of course was broken in 5th grade because it was our last. Then in middle school, I usually always had something related to the holidays or fun nearing our vacation. But this year nothing. All I got were 3 tests and P.E. All there was, was a goodbye be safe see you in 2 weeks. Last year we didn't have a tree because we were going to HK and mom said it wasn't worth the trouble. That was like the first year ever we didn't have a tree, except when we were staying at my aunts house, but there was a tree there. I just feels not right. We used to go to Tahoe every Christmas, to see the snow but that stopped a long time ago. too long. We used to put up lights on the outside of our house and it was a whole tradition, my sister and I would put them in a special order while my uncle and my dad went on the ladder to put them up, ours were the only blinking lights. We stopped doing that after we moved 2 years ago. It's suppose to be Christmas eve fun, laughter, peace and happiness goodwill to men, but it's not. I feel kind of depressed, I just can't get into the spirit.
