My first post! I have never done this before but I am excites to start :).
Today I went to see Rise of the Guardians, a very sweet movie about a few of our favorite holidays and the importance of believing in them. I know what you're thinking, how cheesy is this? I don't think it is though. I really do believe that it is important to keep these beliefs that we all have had as children in our lives as we grow. I mean, who doesn't want to get excited on Christmas morning?
I hate the stereotype that teenagers, especially teenaged girls, don't like to express their bonds with their mothers or fathers in public. Like the shoe commercial where the teeanged girl is saying to the camera (and therefore us, the viewers) how her mother doesn't understand her and her younger brother. This is followed by her opening a present they really enjoy and the daughter hugging her mother, the mother saying the hug was a Christmas miracle. Ridiculous! With my mother, it's a Christmas miracle if she can get me to stop hugging her every five minutes! She doesn't even have to buy me anything for me to give her a hug. So there.
Going back to the movie, it really highlighted the importance of believing in hope, fun, our memories, the wonder in the world, and our dreams. A majority of people who will ever read this will start rolling their eyes or stop reading entirely. Which, based on today's standards in society, is fine. It is what you my dear readers choose. But for those who remain, congratulations you have managed to maintain your innocence despite society's superficial and materialistic world.
