"Another year has come and passed, like memories through an hourglass, and at the end of this year's trail, an offering- a final tale"
This was the beginning line from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert I recently attended. I'm not trying to over exaggerate this, but it was possibly the greatest thing I have ever witnessed. Although they didn't play my favorite song, Old City Bar (Here's the link to the song), which from what I see is awesome live (Listen to the other link first, then click this), the lights were amazing and the music was fantastic. What really had me was how much fun it looked like each and every one of the musicians were having.
TSO (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) relays such a good message in a really kick ass kind of way. It's not Christmas without their music.
These two came down into the crowd and were right next to me. I absolutely love their outfits. The violinist was amazing. He really got into it, not to say that the other guitarists didn't either. Everyone was having so much fun. It was like I wanted to be up there with them. I know I've already said it, but this was a truly amazing experience. I would have never been able to see them if it wasn't for the help of a great friend.

This year, for some extraordinary reason, I am in love with Christmas. No, not just Christmas, but the warm feeling that comes with it. Christmas is an excuse to be nice to everyone you see. Even I, someone who hates people, am more willing to be around and communicate with others. It's almost magical to see how people change during the holidays. But what if we could do this year long?
As TSO states in their Old City Bar song, "If you want to arrange it, this world, you can change it. If we can somehow make this Christmas thing last. By helping a neighbor, or even a stranger. To know who needs help, you need only just ask."
I wish I had this warm hope for society all year long. Maybe that'll be my New Years resolution, to see all the good in society and to not be the problem. To be nice to people. What about you?
