On Christmas, Truth, Etc.

According to the movie "Love Actually," Christmas is a time of truth and the telling of the truth. When I first heard this I though, 'oh this means that people will go around telling truths instead of lies," but after thinking about it, I realize that it means something different. I think what it is trying to say is that Christmas should be a time when you are true to yourself and by being true to yourself, you can in turn be true to the ones that you love. As I continued to ponder this idea, I realized that I am not being true to myself. I need to change somethings about me and let go of some recent events that are not so pleasant. I need to think about what is important to me in life and not change for people to see the image they want to see. So, in light of this Christmas season, do not only shop for presents for people and eat too many cookies and drink too much eggnog, be true to yourself and follow your heart in everything that you do.
