Christmas decorations.
It is November 14th.
I feel like people are rushing things like the holidays. Stores have a somewhat acceptable excuse, having to get out merchandise for the public to purchase and whatnot, but commercializing the holidays so much only makes things worse. We hurry to get our shopping and decorations and planning done, but once we do that, it’s all over. We rush through the preparations so quickly, and when that special occasion gets here, it only lasts a day or so. Why rush?
I’m fine with waiting for Christmas, actually. It can take its time. Each passing of Christmas marks the passing of another year. This’ll be my fifteenth time witnessing the holiday season. Everything I don’t want to passes by so quickly. But things are only fast in memory. When you’re living them it drags by slowly, but when you’re past it and look back, it seems like it lasted only a second. Then you wish that it had lasted longer. This is why we need to cherish things and live in the moment...because it’s over all too soon.
