Christmas

I love Christmas.
It is my favorite holiday.
Simply because of the cheer and togetherness it brings with it
Of course I don't hate the presents either,
But that is not the only reason I love that holiday.
I love it for many reasons.
One of the first reasons is that you receive as well as give gifts, so no one will feel guilty.
I like my birthdays, but you always walk away thinking that you should have given your guests something more in exchange for the amazing presents that they gave you.
Another thing that I love is that the mood of everyone get lifted.
I love snow, and the silence that it brings.
Have you ever just stood outside while it was snowing?
It sounds like there is a blanket over your ears, everything is quieter.
I love that, I also love the invigoration you feel when the chill air hits your lungs with a cold blast that makes you go, "OH!"
I also love the break you get from school when that time of year rolls around, but doesn't everyone love that?
I love icicles, thick ones you find hanging from the edge of your house, and porch railings, I love to find clear ones and either suck on them or have sword fight with them.
Snowball fights are always fun in the winter as well!
I love making the fort that is never tall enough when you finally start the fight.
I just love that whole time of year, the crunch of snow under my shoes, the smell of warm food baking slowly in the oven, the weekend movies curled up under tons of blankets, and even the feel of a warm fireplace, when available.
There are so many desirable things about winter and Christmas.
I forgot, I love Christmas carols, I absolutely love them. They bring warmth, cheer, and happy feelings with them no matter when they are played.
