James Taylor's Alternative Christmas Message

MERRRRRYYYY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

It's a chilly Christmas day and we have all got up and opened our gifts. For those that normally read my blogs you would have noticed that I haven't written one in a while. I'VE JUST BEEN TOO DAMN BUSY!

anyway back to the Blog and Christmas Message:

How can I sum up the year well its been a bit of a funny one that has had so many things happen in the public eye with most notably with the death of an iconic pop star, Michael Jackson R.I.P. Also the end of a reality TV program that went on for far too long, Big Brother (did anyone actually watch it?) Simon Cowell and his money making X-Factor but with the public proving to be the real winners making sure he didn't make his product become number 1! Instead rage against the machine hit that top spot with the hit "killing in the name". Just goes to show at the end of the day we have final say all it takes is one lil group on facebook to potentially ruin someone. This year has shown that times are changing and people are able to do what they really want to do all it takes is effort and thought. Especially in times of hardship with the recession and credit crunch people are able to pull together and help each other out, one sacrifice can make the bigger difference. Again this year has shown that we need to make a big change with our "carbon footprint" the floods in Cumbria and crazy shon and ice we have recently had. It shows sooner or later this will become the norm even if we make a change now it's got so far that it may need drastic measures just to make even the small difference.

So as you may have read and thought to yourself this year has a bit of a gloomy year, you think to yourself and there must be one point this year that has made you think. Hey this happened to me and that was great.

So what does the new year hold for us, well only you have the real control on what you do. What I'm going to do and probably suggest to you is try and be selfless, think about the other guy, think about the guy that doesn't get the credit the praise that they deserve. The year 2010 will be the year of the small guy. When I say small I don't as in height lol I mean the unsung hero of society, the person that does the little thing that makes the bigger difference. Think to yourself the next time someone offers you a big issue, you buy it? This little gesture can make one difference. As we have recently seen, people have the power to change something and reach there potential. There is always time to reach your goal and you must strive to reach it no matter what. As long as you have hope you can reach it! There will be times that are going to test you but there will be times that you need support and this is where your friends and yourself come into play you must not forget who your friends are and vice versa. As these are the people that you should truly be able to talk to if you have a problem. One grudge forget about it, talk about it, it could be a blessing in disguise.

One last thing that I will mention is your family don't take them for granted, personally this year has been quite a testing time when it comes to family, it may be the same situation for others that are reading this. But one thing is family is important and even though they can be a pain which I can vouch lol sometimes your pride gets in the way and you need to let it go to look at the bigger picture!

This is James Taylor and that was my Christmas Message. I know it sounds a bit depressing but hey ain't the queens message a lil depressing lol. So by reading this I hope that it has hit a part of you that strikes a chord and it makes you think. If not then fair enough live how you want to. I hope that this message doesn't sound preachy, that's the last thing I want to sound like that crazy guy in town preaching.

Merry Christmas
