Where is the Holiday Spirit?

I'm hoping this Christmas will be an eye opener for some. I guess people tend to get their priorities out of place and can only see what's right in front of them. Or they forget that at the end of the day the little things that may aggravate us or the things we may not entirely agree with, don't really matter - or shouldn't. It really surprises me the things people choose to make an issue, especially around Christmas, when family is most important. They also forget that their actions and words hurt more than the people they are intended for.

I refuse to get my spirit down. I choose to surround myself with the people I love most and who accept me for who I truly am. I refuse to filter my words or change who I am to make someone else happy. I would never ask for anyone to be anything other than who they are.

I really hope you realize that all this is not worth the price that will end up being paid. Just because you have an opinion about something, doesn't mean its always necessary to voice it. I know you won't always agree and we won't all always get along, but family is family whether you like me or not.
