whatever

Life is starting to calm down. As much as it can in the Schroll house hold. We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving next week as well as some days off of school. My grandparents are coming over later in the day. I hope that it does not rain because all of my siblings, myself included, desire to go to the parade in Philadelphia. We all enjoy Christmas in our house. We don't have any decorations up in our house or anything like that, yet. It is a shame that people rush past Thanksgiving to get to Christmas. Now, I have started to think about what I want to get people for Christmas. It is just sad that people rush past Thanksgiving to get to Christmas and don't even know what Christmas even means. In homeroom today we were looking at John chapter two where Jesus is in Jerusalem and he goes into the temple were people are buying and selling stuff for the Passover. They got so caught up in tradition that they didn't even realize what it stood for and tried to cut short on the important things. It reminds me of America in relation to the celebration of Christmas. We get so caught up in tradition, the presents and food that we fail to remember why the tradition exists. It gets even worse for Thanksgiving we start taking it as a day off of work and school for food and football, and we don't even think about why when we look on our calender we see the word Thanksgiving on it. TRADITIONS ARE GOOD JUST SO LONG AS WE REMEMBER WE REMEMBER WHY THE EXIST.
