My Favorite Time of Year has Begun!
Well, folks, here it is. Now that Thanksgiving is done with, I don't feel even a little bad about celebrating the Christmas Season! Today is honestly one of my favorites of the year. No, I don't go shopping on Black Friday, I spend basically the entire day home in fact. But I love breaking out the Christmas decorations and getting our house all spruced up for the season! In our house, we always put up the Christmas tree while listening to "Christmas with Julie Andrews"
If you haven't listened to this album, let me put in my personal plug for it: it's very, very good. Go find it and listen to it. I don't really know why, but this CD always reminds me of the start of the Christmas season.
I think the reason I love Christmas time so much is because it's such a different time of year. I mean, everyone's happy and friendly to each other, there's definitely a feeling of joy and happiness all around! TV shows are different, the house looks different, the songs on the radio are different; Christmas time is just a joyous month that sticks out more than anything! Being the nostalgic guy that I am, I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for this time of year. I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas time; my favorite being something like this picture I posted yesterday:
Of course this isn't my living room, but the multi-colored lights on the tree by the fireplace in the dark of night brings back so many memories of this time of year. I've said it before, my happy place is right here; basking in the light of a Christmas tree at night while the cold winter snow falls outside. There's just nothing like it. I was feeling a little bit of this when I saw the tree up and the lights on:
That's kinda how I feel about the entire season.
So may we all drink as much hot wassail as our stomachs can carry this season! Let's all soak in every bit of Holiday Cheer that we possibly can! I know I will be!!
