she told me she never meant to make me cry, and I said...


you never do

Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa la la la la...

December.

         my favorite holiday. where joy is spread, love fills you up your entire being making you feel whole and complete. Like a thin light, love slips over you covering your cracks and broken bits. while this isn't always the case for everyone. For me, giving presents and seeing the joy, then receiving the love back. thats worth every penny I spend.

I love december, the smell of the blacktop after it rains, and the endless cars with trees strapped to their roof watching the fir needles fly in the air as the car whips on the freeway. It seems that christmas has been waiting to arrive for sometime now. I walked into Macy's a couple weeks before halloween, and christmas stuff was already being set up. The night after thanksgiving my town has a tree lighting ceremony where everyone comes out to watch this big oak tree in the middle of the town get lit up. The local high school choir sings christmas music, santa appears and the snow queen arrives. People walk hand in hand sipping the new christmas cups that startbucks hands out, walking from store to store, who offer cookies and cider. This is magical. This season is magical and people, mostly me, can't wait for it to arrive.



I have already set up a small put it together yourself tree, complete with beads, string of silver balls , and ornaments complete with an angel and presents I hand made and wrapped.

Elf is played on tv constantly, and lifetime is playing Fa la la la lifetime movies up until christmas. The best part is that I watch these movies with my family, we spend hours watching them together, laughing and crying because we are all saps for happy endings.

This indeed is the most wonderful time of the year.
