I'm not sure why this is, but I have been looking forward to Christmas for a very long time. I was so excited to put up decorations that I even contemplated putting them up the weekend before Thanksgiving. I didnt, but did put everything up the Sunday after turkey day. I love the smells, the sounds, the all around good feeling that goes along with Christmas. People in general seem to be in a better mood. Is it just the season to be nice? What is it about Christmas that can change the way people look at the world?
For me it gives me an opportunity to look back on the year and see what was accomplished. Whether it's a little or a lot it's always nice to have a sort of closing to the year. If it was good, then great, if it wasn't so good then there is always next year. And what better way to close the year than with thanking the many wonderful people in your life with Christmas gifts. I don't know about you but I love love love giving gifts way more than getting them. I have been known to make people open their gifts early just because I couldn't wait. Its a time when things can be put into perspective. A chance for me to truly realize how blessed my life is. Maybe that is why others are happy too. Maybe its a time for people to focus not so much on what they don't have but what the year did bring for them. All I really know is that I love how Christmas makes me feel.
To everyone....have an amazing Christmas.
