&quot;We&#039;re all a little weird, and life&#039;s a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.&quot;<br /> -Dr. Seuss

As I grow older
Presents seem to matter less
Christmas Songs have lost their jingle
Santa hats aren't so red
Bulbs on trees have lost their magic
But as I grow older
Christ seems to be the focus
The Nativities are more wonderful
Worldly things matter less
And you matter more

I wrote this when I was younger. As you grow up the fun gets lost, but you realize what's more important.
