(Kathryn Jones – Christmas Vacation)
Every time I hear this song, I remember every Christmas season…hearing this song. It’s strange and amazing that a song written for a soundtrack can still have such an everlasting effect on me and the millions of others.
But this year it feels and sounds different…I left the places I’ve grew up around (again) and decided to restart/rebuild a new life. But it feels different now. Although I’m a writer I still don’t fully have the words to explain it. When it’s time to grow…words won’t explain it.
But I love this entire season and Christmas…and warmth I feel watching the snow falling outside. I’m at a new home now…but I think it was always home and although the road is going to be rough and stressful, that’s what new starts take. It’ll always feel fantastic knowing I have here and back home to have my back. Family is family…no matter how far away they are, what a cool concept, knowing you’re hundreds away but still a call/FaceTime away. It’s the first “perfect” Christmas’ in a years long series of perfect Christmas’.
