Winter Wonderland

I've decided that snowflakes are my favorite winter thing. Here's why:

1. Whoville is in a snowflake.
2. They are all different and unique.
3. Walking around at night in a snow lightly falling makes the world muffled and peaceful.
4. You can make fun things out of snow: snowmen, snow angels, snowballs.
5. Snowflakes are super pretty individually and collectively. They cover the ground making everything crisp and beautiful.

It's a Christmas Miracle!

I'm always surprised when I find out people don't think Christmas is the most magical and awesome time of year. It really is folks and here is why:

1. Your heart grows bigger filling you with love and making everyone a little bit nicer and more giving like the Grinch.
2. Pretty sparkly lights & glittery decorations everywhere you look!
3. Decorating the house & tree! I love rediscovering the beautiful ornaments and the treasures to decorate the house with!
4. Good boys and girls. Kids are more well behaved and it's so fun seeing their excitement and innocence. It's infectious!
5. The yummy treaties that are in abundance. Especially the treats you only get this time of year like candy canes and eggnog. Yum yum!
6. Christmas music. Whether it's carolers or just goodness coming from the radio, you can't help but be happy when you listen to Christmas music.
7. Christmas movies (yes I'm also talking about the made for TV Christmas shows on Lifetime and the Hallmark Channels). They always end happy and perfect!
8. Snow! It's the one time of year that even snow haters wish for it. If that's not Christmas magic, then I don't know what is!
9. Giving and getting Presents! Who doesn't love getting presents and buying some for your favorite people or for those families in need!?!
10. Joy to the World! The spirit of the season is in everything, everyone, and everywhere you look! It's practically impossible to not be happy everyday!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
