No Place like Home for the Holidays

Description

"Merry Christmas, Rooke!"
"Oh, hi, Lugia..."
"What's wrong? You seem down."
"It's nothing...I just kind of miss my Mom and Dad, since it's Christmastime and all."
"Oh, is that all? Why don't we pop over for a visit?"
*stares* "I can do that?"
"Of course! I can't go flying to different worlds all the time, mind you. I have things to attend to here. But it IS Christmas, after all! And I'm sure Ho-oh can cover for me for a few days. And if you like, your parents can pop over here as well to visit, every once in a while."
*hug* "Lugia, you're like, the best legendary ever."



Merry Christmas! This is my Christmas picture for the year, and NuzRooke's Christmas picture as well. :) I had a lot of fun painting this - tried out some new things, messed around with it, and overall, I'm pleased with it. :3

A lot of folks expressed unhappiness that Rooke chose to go back - because they felt she was being selfish. And she was, sort of. But she was also acting, not like a child anymore, but like an adult. She'd grown up a lot. So she chose to live where she would be happy - and like her, I encourage all young adults, to move out of your parents' houses, get a job (like Rooke, she's a professional Pokemon trainer and ex-Champ, after all!) and continue on in life.

But that doesn't mean you should forget family, no matter where they are. And even if it's far, it's important to make an effort to remain close with them. Even if that means asking for a favor from a legendary Pokemon. :) Lugia's super nice, though, and she doesn't mind leaving her legendary duties for a day or two in order to give Rooke a lift home and back.

Now, what Rooke's mom thinks of the giant bird-dragon sitting in front of her house, I don't know. XD But she's certainly happy to see Rooke again for the holidays. :)

Wherever you are in the world, remember to give your parents a call, if you can't visit them like Rooke. Christmas is a time to be with family, and to remember what's important in life. :) As for me, I'll be spending it with my own family, remembering the Savior's birth, and His life, and all the things He has blessed me with in my own life.

I really have been so amazingly blessed. My mission is in a few months, and I'm so excited to go out and share the message of the gospel with everyone I meet - because the Lord has given me so much, and I want to share that. I want to bring this joy to the lives of others. I want people to know the incredible truths I know - I want people to feel God's love for them, because it is so real and so wonderful! And especially this time of year, I want to spread that hope. Christmas is hope, for that's what the birth of Christ brought - hope to the world. Hope that things will be better. Hope that death is not the end. Hope that there is light and joy and goodness in this life, and that it will not be lost. I know those things are true, no matter how harsh the world gets. God lives, and He loves us, and this is the time of His Son's birth. And I am so grateful for that. :)

Merry Christmas, everyone. God bless. <3
