A Wrinkle In Time

Every year after Thanksgiving my mom brings up the Christmas decorations from the basement and this is also the time when I get out my delightful Christmas music. As I was listening to my Christmas music for the first time this year I was reminded of the time when I was living at Prov. and my roommate got mad at me because she thought it was too early for Christmas music. I remember her telling me that she was going to be so sick of listening to Christmas music by the time Christmas rolled around. I of course didn’t see a problem with it, but I didn’t take into consideration the fact that their Thanksgiving is in October and ours is in November so that made it even earlier haha. I don’t think there’s ever a wrong time to listen to Christmas music because I love it and it makes me happy. I didn’t think that listening to Christmas music was a freedom that had the chance of being swiped away from me. I guess I never really thought about the freedoms of music before. So how did I handle the situation you might ask…well I went home one weekend and I bought a 3 disc set of Christmas carols (to add to my already existing library of Christmas music) which are sung by a lady with an annoying high-pitch, whiney voice. I had to laugh when I found those cds again. That was cruel of me I know, but I figured if I had to listen to her teeth grinding at night, which kept me awake, that she should have to put up with my Christmas music. HAHA This situation among others made it a very interesting year. I always thought that moving in with a complete stranger was kind of bizarre, but I learnt a lot though so it’s all good. .
It’s that time of year when the world falls in love.
This is part of the lyrics to one of my all time favorite Christmas songs titled “The Christmas Waltz” by Michael W. Smith. I really like the idea of the world falling in love and at the same time I really have a hard time imagining this happening because if that were to happen all of the bad stuff like war, poverty, crime, abuse, divorce, etc. would be removed and people wouldn’t be starving or living in the streets. If the world fell in love then everyone would be a lot more happier than normal and there would be peace like you wouldn’t believe and chocolate wouldn’t even begin to be the source of all of this joy. Love is the solution and God is love. In order for the world to fall in love everyone would have to know God and I hope that someday the thought of this world falling in love would become more than just a thought, more than a dream, or desire but an action taking place.
