I shot this for a funny photo contest my church was doing called "Christmas Meltdown". Do we let hustle and bustle of Christmas steal Christ's gifts of hope, peace, love and joy?

Christmas is children who just can't go to sleep
Christmas is memories, the kind you always keep
Deck the halls and give a cheer
For all the things that Christmas is each year
Christmas is carols to warm you in the snow
Christmas is bedtime when no one wants to go
All the world is tinsel white
So glad to know that Christmas is tonight
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

So here is my Christmas-inspired shot. I'm just so not feeling it this year. The last few Christmases have been kind of blah. I get annoyed by the people obsessed with gifts, the commercialism, blah blah blah. I'm not religious, at all, so all the Jesus stuff that's shoved down our necks is kind of annoying too.
For me, Christmas has always been about family. Well, not always. I remember being rather spoiled and bratty as a child ... but now! It's about family. And all was good until a few years ago, when my grandpa died. Before he died, we would all meet at my grandparents' house in Colorado for Christmas, and it felt like a holiday. We had our traditional meals and stuff, and it was fun. After he died, we had one last Christmas there with everyone there, and it was the hardest Christmas I've ever endured. He and I were very close, and I miss him terribly. Since that Christmas, we haven't really had a Christmas like that. Last year a few of us went to Vegas to see my aunt. This year a bunch of them are going to see my other aunt in Georgia. It's just not the same. We're not all together.
Add that to my inability to buy people gifts, or give to charities (which is what I'd really rather do) and I just feel kind of blah.
Of all the Charlie Browns, I'm the Charlie Browniest, I guess.
Fortunately I do get to see my mom and stepdad, and that makes it much better. And, since dating Joey, I've kind of gained a new family, one that is much larger than my own, actually. And they're Italian, so just imagine the food - YUM! :) But really, they're kind, fun people who I enjoy spending holidays with. So I am still blessed with family, just not the way it was when I was a kid. I guess that's part of growing up though.
I'm hoping I can kick myself out of this funk tomorrow. We're going to Joey's family's tomorrow, then driving up to my mom's that night. I'm sure tomorrow will be fun, but I think Christmas will start for me when I'm with my mom. She's my family, and that is what Christmas is about.
At the traditional Vienna Magic of Advent, the Rathausplatz becomes a shining fairytale land. The 150 or so sales stands offer Christmas gifts, Christmas tree decorations, sweets and warming drinks. The trees of the surrounding City Hall park are festively decorated and radiate in a sea of lights. There are lots of offers here for children in particular.
Not far away is the Christmas village on Maria-Theresien-Platz, situated between the Museum of Fine Arts and the Natural History Museum. 70 stands offering traditional handicrafts and original gift ideas are set up here during Advent. The romantic Christmas village in the Old AKH is also a popular meeting point during the run-up to Christmas, especially for the younger crowd. There are also two areas for playing “ice stock sport”, an Alpine game similar to curling, right in the Christmas village.
The Old Viennese Christmas Market on Freyung in the city center is committed to tradition. A Christmas market was held here as early as 1772; today, it is a place to buy handicrafts, glass decorations, traditional cribs and ceramics. Festive Advent music can be heard on the square from 16:00. Top-quality handicrafts can also be purchased a couple of steps further along at the Am Hof Advent Market.
The cultural and Christmas market in front of Schönbrunn Palace offers romance in front of an imperial backdrop, and is converted into a New Year's market after Christmas. The atmospheric market offers traditional handicrafts, hand-made Christmas decorations, Christmas concerts and an extensive children's program, including Christmas workshop. The Christmas Village at Belvedere Palace enjoys an impressive baroque background. The unique palace gardens provide an ideal site for a tranquil Christmas market.
Children in particular also really appreciate the Christmas Market on Karlsplatz. In addition to an extensive children’s program, the market is above all noted for handicrafts. There are also numerous stalls full of artisans’ wares in the idyllic tiny alleyways at the Christmas Market on Spittelberg and numerous other vendors with unique culinary gift ideas.
Entertainment is the word at the winter market on Riesenradplatz. There are children's adventure rides, musical live acts and a humorous show program here until 6 January. The Christmas market at Stephansplatz focusses on contemplation and tradition, with 26 booths offering high-quality products from Austria.
An Imperial and Royal Christmas Market will be held on Michaelerplatz this year for the first time. Austrian producers, some of whom are descendants of former Imperial and Royal Court Suppliers, will offer their high-quality goods in radiantly white market booths.

Merry Christmas slightly early! That hat was surprisingly hard to sew. If you look carefully you will see a small squirrel on that shelf in the back.
