Times have changed for me.
I'm growing older and am becoming separated from my youth. Though these differences are prevalent on a daily basis, they come to the forefront around Christmas.
When I was younger all I wanted for Christmas was everything in the JC Penney's catalog. Now I can't come up with enough things I want to give each family member one suggestion.
When I was younger all I wanted was to get up and catch Santa climbing up the chimney. Now I want to sleep until around 9:30, shower, shave and eat breakfast before I think about gifts.
When I was younger, I could have cared less about the big meal and just wanted to play with my toys. Now that I'm older all I think about is how many calories are in those candied yams.
When I was younger I loved playing video games on my Atari 2600 or Commodore 64. I would pack my games up and take them to grandma's house and play until my eyes were bloodshot. Now that I'm older... wait, I still want to play video games.
In fact I'm going to the livingroom to finish my game of Frogger on PS2. At least somethings will never change.
