Merry Christmas Adam.

This has been the longest Christmas I've ever felt. It's felt like it since the first of November. I'm almost worn out.

Irony is heavy this time of year. We're supposed to care about people more, be more generous and thoughtful, and I feel like I keep seeing the complete opposite. More people are stressed and lash out in utter anger at complete strangers. They cut in line, they want to be first.
Now I know the majority of people aren't necessarily mean on purpose, and given that this is a pretty rough year for most people, I don't blame the edgy nerves. Just seems to me that all the little rays of sunshine are crossing my path lately.
"Kill them with kindness" is a mantra oft repeated at my workplace.

Jesus, what's this season come to? It's so beautiful. And stressful. But it was never supposed to turn out that way.

And here I am trying to say I'm working on not complaining... sigh.
