In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas…
November 28th, 2005
…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!
anna, I finally found your site! and I love the christmas/holiday season too.
okay, back to posting, but don’t worry– I’ll be checking in with you here too.
But isn’t it all coming on too fast? Or am I just getting old? I mean, I have all my weekends planned until 2006. ALL OF THEM! Gah! Thank God for on-line shopping!
Hooray for Fast Gurls!
And I’m with you, Andreas - thank heavens for online shopping!
