I absolutely love this time of year.
I love the red Starbucks cups. I love the lights around the neighborhood. I love hearing stories from people about past Christmas experiences. I love seeing my parents house all decked out in Santas and the enormous tree. I got to help decorate this year. That was fun. I love the music. I love that for the most part, people try to get out of themselves and help others. Donating time or money or gifts to those less fortunate. I love spending time with family and friends with coffee and a fire in the fireplace. I love finding the perfect gift for someone. I love the smell of the first snow. I love the sound of the scissors cutting wrapping paper, and making the ribbon curly. I love all the Christmas movies. I love the traditions. I love peppermint mochas. I love watching the snowflakes swirl around outside my window. I love finding the perfect snowman to add to my collection. I love cute scarves, winter hats and knee length pea coats. I love Christmas episodes of Psych. Now don’t get me wrong, I do tend to get a little lonely, and I understand cases of the bah humbugs. I get them just like everyone else. But for the most part, I’m happy.
I love that I believe.
I love that I’m able to recognize all the things that I love.
Merry Christmas!
