i was thinking today... christmas this year doesn't really feel like christmas. maybe it's the lack of involvement and busyness in church activities. or maybe it's the fact that we're 3000kms away from family and friends.
i'm inclined to think that this isn't such a horrible thing.
as rach and i were talking today, i found myself saying that for now, i couldn't imagine living anywhere else. and in terms of things that have been kept at a constant, it's funny how even though we pretty much live in the city, we seem to have maintained our trait of driving heaps far to get and do things. for example, the church we go to is 32kms out of the city. and as a follow up example, today, when we needed to do our grocery shopping, we chose to drive out to eastwood, which is still a good 20km away. what can i say. i love my burbs.
oh! we finally came to a decision to buy a christmas tree. but. we set ourselves up for disappointment because we got to the store only to find that they were sold out of all trees that would've fit in our place. the only ones the had left were 1.82m giants. =( that's just not cool.
on a slight tangent, another thing i realize is that i really miss carolling at christmastime. i think that's another BIG thing that's been missing this year. i'm so used to the routine of carolling at old age nursing homes or having a sing-off at church. my hopes are though, that the epic christmas mix list in the car will take care of that particular inkling.
in any case, i think this christmas marks a new type of christmas. and really. who ever said change was a bad thing? =p
