"It's the most wonderful time of the year.." Hearing this song, brings me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside. It is one my favorite songs to listen to during the holiday season. Christmas is my favorite holiday, if you haven't already figured it out. It was my favorite holiday when I was younger, and still is my favorite holiday. As I've grown older, I have a new perspective and appreciate all the little things that comes with this season, I think it's called Christmas spirit. Family means everything to me. My family always travels down to the D.C./Maryland region where we spend the holidays at my older brothers house. I love going shopping to get presents for my family and close friends. Seeing the smile on their faces as they tear open their gifts, gives me the greatest joy. Putting up the christmas tree, baking cookies, wrapping presents, wearing matching onesies, and eating christmas dinner are all the things I love, because it brings my family all together. Until next time, be nice to everyone, you never know what they may be going through.
