The Christmas Wish
Song: The Christmas Wish
Artist: John Denver and the Muppet's
This album was introduced to me when I was a young child by my dad. He grew up listening to it and now, so have I. I plan to pass it on to any future children I might have one day. I'm a big fan of the Muppet's so I love this whole album! I actually listened to it all the way through for one of the first times today (I usually only listen to my favorite songs which are The Twelves Days of Christmas, Little Saint Nick, Christmas Is Coming, Silent Night & We Wish You A Merry Christmas). This song really touched me, hahaha. I'm so ridiculously corny but it's the truth! The Muppet's got me in the feels today!
Last night was rough. And the night before was even rougher. I actually didn't sleep at all (I didn't officially "go to bed/asleep" until 4:40 in the morning!). That night I suffered intense panic and anxiety attacks. I had to watch youtube for a while as it was the only thing that took my mind off my thoughts. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I felt like I was suffocating, it was awful! Then last night I had the most pathetic, single, loner night in the history of single/loners. I baked myself a, get this, Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for 1. Yup. And I ate the whole thing! It was delicious. Then I drove myself to the library (at 9:30 at night) to drop off some library books and then drove around my neighborhood, by myself, looking at Christmas lights. Then I journaled and wrote a letter to someone. How sad is that!? But what's even sadder is that is how most of my Friday nights go (minus the deep dish cookie....though that could become a more regular thing in the future....).
So anyway. Today I was feeling really down and upset. I wasn't being very kind and patient toward my family and I was having a pity party for myself while I washed dishes for over an hour! I blamed everyone for my unhappiness. I wanted to scream and swear and cry and yell! But then this song came on. And I listened. And it was so sweet. So pure. So innocent, I felt my anger start to dissipate. I felt such a sweet tenderness and peace envelope my whole body. And as corny as this might sound, when I heard this line, it almost brought me to tears as I felt like Kermit the Frog was singing it right to me: That at this special time you will have true peace of mind and joy to last throughout the coming year.
That is my Christmas wish. And Christmas prayer. That I will find true peace of mind and joy. My mind has not been a very kind and peaceful place. I'm going to try to forget about trying to control everything. I'm going to stop beating myself up every second of every day. I'm going to stop criticizing myself on every little thing. And I'm going to enjoy. Enjoy this special time of year. I'm also going to let go. Let go of the past and the things I can't change. I'm going to focus on what Christmas really means.
Thanks Kermit! You changed my whole attitude and made my heart feel happy and light!
I don't know if you believe in Christmas
Or if you have presents underneath a Christmas tree
But if you believe in love
That will be more than enough
For you to come and celebrate with me
For I have held the precious gift that love brings
Even though I never saw a Christmas star
I know there is a light I have felt it burn inside
And I have seen it shining from afar
Christmas is the time to come together
A time to put all differences aside
And I reach out my hand to the family of man
To share the joy I feel at Christmas time
For the truth that binds us all together
I would like to say a simple prayer
That at this special time you will have true peace of mind
And joy to last throughout the coming year
And if you believe in love
That will be more than enough
For peace to last throughout the coming year
And peace on Earth will last throughout the year

And now I have to go find all of these videos and watch the entire thing!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
