Christmas

I would not usually consider myself 'Christmassy'. I try to avoid being a complete Scrooge, but I have found it hard to get on board with Christmas for my adult life - probably because I obnoxiously love to hate anything popular. But today... I feel like a little of the Christmas spirit has come over me.

I'm not entirely sure what it is. Maybe it's that I've got all my Christmas shopping sorted - a stressful endeavour, but now done with almost two weeks to spare. Maybe it's the feeling of being in a warm building, staving off the bitter cold outside, when it becomes tough not to feel all fuzzy on the inside. Maybe it's because this is the first Christmas I will get to spend with my brother in 5 years, and I'm genuinely excited about that.

Or maybe it's just because I've been playing the Killing Floor Christmas event and I've had August Burns Red's full 15 song Christmas metal album on repeat all day, and it's wall to wall bangers. Either way - happy holidays everyone.
