Always Anna

…Children laughing,
people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you’ll hear:
Silver bells, silver bells,
It’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling,
hear them ring,
soon it will be Christmas day…

Christmas is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. However, even more than I like Christmas day, I like the month before Christmas. For the month in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I love the world.

I love seeing people in good moods, smiling at strangers instead of shoving past them. I love the Salvation Army Santas. I love hauling out my box of decorations and turning my apartment into an overly-decorated space. I love seeing the fancy decorations in the stores. I love curling up on the couch with some hot chocolate or chai latte and watching Christmas movies. I love baking holiday cookies while playing “A Very Special Christmas” on the CD player. I love all holiday music. I love finding the perfect holiday cards to send out to my friends and family. I love shopping for the perfect presents to give people, and then wrapping them up in bright paper and ribbon. And, I’m not going to lie, I like ripping through cheerful paper to open up the presents that people give me.

I love this season. And I wish all of you a happy holiday season!
