Christmas is a time that brings us together and while there are many movies and books that depict crazy times when families do get together, I love being around my family. Yes, we have our quirks, but being together with family is something that cannot be matched by anything. A few years ago, all of my family was able to get together for the holiday. That included all of my aunts and uncles and their children as well. It was great seeing everyone and hearing about what was going on with them. Christmas would not be nearly as special to me if I did not have the opportunity to share it with the people I love.
Finally, I love Christmas because it allows me to decorate and spread Christmas cheer. Decorating the house and the yard is refreshing to me because I get to move...
There is no other time of year when we get to hang decorations and lights and put up a tree that fills the house with a nice aroma. I like to make ornaments and try different ideas every year. Two years ago, I made some clay snowmen that everyone loved. Before that, I made stocking for everyone. My neighbor does an incredible job decorating and every year we try to outdo each other. Last year, she put little Christmas trees in all of the rooms in the house that had a window. The lights were all green and she topped it off by decorating the trees in her yard to match. This time of year gives the adults a reason to have a little fun with the holiday. The opportunity allows me to experience Christmas magic that only comes once a year.
