But, Well, It's Christmas...

Tonight I caught the tail end of Love Actually, which my roommates were watching while I studied. Actually I fell asleep studying, but that's beside the point.

So at the end of this movie, almost every story is resolved by someone finally admitting their feelings to the person they love, and it always seems to include the phrase, "I know this sounds crazy, but, well, it's Christmas...and if you can't be honest on Christmas, then..." So then the two get together, I start to cry, and they cut to the next story, which begins the whole process over again. (Because, for those of you unfamiliar with the movie, it covers a whole slew of different love stories) Apparently what I missed about Christmas all these years was that it's a time when we can finally be honest about how we feel. I guess this means that now I have roughly six months to work up the nerve to tell people what I really think of them.

Thank goodness I don't participate in any Christmas-in-July extravaganzas.
