December has always been one of my favorite months. You've got Thanksgiving in November that prepares you for the festivities to come. For me, getting through Thanksgiving means it's officially okay to put up Christmas decorations and of course bring out the movie ELF!h It also means days are typically spent curled up inside watching movies by the fire and drinking hot chocolate. I feel that people become more friendly and really get into the Christmas spirit. One of my favorite parts is being home and getting to see all those friendly faces and catch up with old friends you don't get to see too often.
This year is already quite different. Wellington has been putting on a show with the gorgeous weather the last week or so, it's really starting to heat up. Instead of ordering hot coffees I find myself ordering ice cold lemonade or beer while at home they're dealing with snow and power outages. I think I can get use to this. I haven't heard any holiday tunes yet which I am a bit disappointed about but I'm starting to see some Christmas decorations up so that is a plus. I am excited to experience my first Summer Christmas and eager to see if it will still feel like the Christmas I've always known. I guess when you think about holidays what really matters is being surrounded by family and friends and appreciating those that are in your lives. My parents will be arriving in less than two weeks and I couldn't be more ecstatic about it. This will be one Christmas to remember.
