With the passing of each Christmas the holiday spirit
and the excitement seem to diminish, the break is no longer filled with joyous
winter outings and the excitement is only for the break off of school. As a
teen my break is filled with work, school and stress about university. Which is
a drastic change from when I was little and the only thing I had to worry about
was my snow pants soaking through while tobogganing for hours. As you grow up
the magic of Christmas seems to slowly deplete from the cold winter nights and
sometimes the fact that Christmas is near is completely forgotten. Even though Christmas
time is continuously changing the one thing that should never be forgotten is
family and how much they mean to you.
