I love Christmas, it really is the most wonderful time of the year, the lights, the snow (even though I don’t like the cold) the ground all covered in white, the trees covered and all the different colored lights against the snow, how very pretty. I really enjoy going shopping and seeing all the stores decorated and the sound of Christmas music, it is so great. The best part to me is Christmas morning and getting to watch the kids open gifts and the looks on their faces, how very innocent.
Now the not so fun part is the stress that goes along with the Christmas shopping, the traffic, the snowy roads and it seems I can never find a decent parking spot so I have to walk forever (it feels) to get in the mall just to fight the many people that probably feel the same stress that I do. However, the great part is going home getting everything taken care of, settling down to a nice hot bath with 2 or 3 aromatherapy candles burning and being able to put the season back into perspective. What a great time of the year.
