Lost and Found Christmas

And then, the day itself comes. Christmas for many is a time of great cheer, especially when the conditions are normal. But when they're not, it can be a bit of a confusing time - and the moment of the holiday might be in a lost-and-found state. So it is that with a happening that befell my personal affairs, as well as some distant people finding themselves in a quagmire, I thought I'd discuss this state of affairs for the holiday, and certainly I'd include the pertinent Pokémon experiences for that and more.

For the "lost" part, there have been a few occasions of Christmas that I've had where Pokémon was an included part. One of them happened to be the occasion where I also obtained the relevant Pokémon album, which was indeed adjacent to the time. I know now that I can never get the occasion back by the above happening - although that's probably the case regardless. For the others, they might also be shuffling themselves and the Pokémon things they still have, so at least a bit of the day is "lost" for them.

On the "found" side of things, in many of the past years, I've been able to get into certain happenings close to or exactly on the occasion - one of them earlier this week - that enable me to put in Pokémon. These would represent me "finding" them and therefore "finding" a kind of Christmas to celebrate. As others recover from their quagmire, which could take until the next time Christmas comes around, they can also find their Christmas celebrations; with luck, some of those might just involve Pokémon.

The ways that things are "lost" and "found" on this day might be considered an oddity, given the festivity that's in the air. Yet it is understandable that life happens with or without an upcoming or ongoing festivity, in particular the one of this very day. Losing or finding oneself or the associated happenings would then be expected along with the progression of life (and certainly Pokémon things), but with the festivity at hand, one seems to just need to go along with it and find only what really needs to be found.

I'm still at the moment trying to find myself after the happening above while contemplating the Christmas happenings I've lost and found alongside Pokémon. Others may be in the process of trying to find their footing after they have lost hold of it, and still others may be in the process of finding Pokémon things that can complement them in whatever state they're in. In all of these cases, at least there is still today and the hopes that it implies or brings - just maybe to lose the "weight" and find the "wings to fly".

Merry Christmas. I hope that (Pokémon) spirits are always found and never lost. 🎄
