Christmas time is here yet again, and just like every year, I can barely wait! I love Christmas so much! There's just something so magical and filled with coziness and love at this time of year. It's the holiday that renews the child within us and the wonder that comes along with being a child. A world that, while in other seasons of the year looks drab and depressing, becomes completely new and unimaginably beautiful and enchanting. The feeling of depression--or even apathy--is replaced with joy and love. And the world that once was dark, cold, and cruel is now bright, warm, and pure. Some people are unable to have this shift of perspective when Christmas rolls around, are unable to get in "the Christmas spirit" so to speak, and I truly feel sorry for these people and wish they could feel the absolute comfort, joy, and wonder I feel at this time of year. How wonderful the world would be if we could all keep the Christmas spirit all year round. But alas, this doesn't happen, and even for major Christmas fanatics such as myself, the magic dies a little bit more every year. It's called "growing up," and it's highly overrated. If only we could keep the child-like joy of Christmas in our hearts forever, right? Well, we might not be able to keep all the magic we had in our hearts at Christmas time as children, but we can try to keep the memories with us and keep as much joy, love, and wonder in our lives as we possibly can. ...And follow the code of the elves! :
1. Treat every day like Christmas.
2. There's room for everyone on the nice list.
3. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
