December is here! Which means there's only one thing on my mind: Christmas! (Okay, so maybe there's a lot on my mind, but Christmas is certainly one of those things). And before you get all carried away thinking I'm some materialistic, jesus loving, family centered, carol singing, cookie baking fiend (none of which are necessarily bad things, of course), let me tell you what Christmas means for me.
Christmas time means the cities are lit up with strings of lights that make even the grayest buildings look beautiful. It means people are extra nice to each other (although why we need a holiday for that is beyond me). It means hot coco and silly family gatherings and putting up Christmas trees. It means good food and Christmas parties. It means a much needed break from classes. It means CHRISTMAS MUSIC!(!!!!!!!) It means warm pajamas and a fire and feeling comfortable all over. It means my grandmother giving me silly toys and doodads that make me smile even though I'm an adult. It means ditching Columbus and going to Buffalo and Rochester (and this year, Florida as well). It means catching up on all the books I've been meaning to read. And it means lots of love going around.
And with all that going on, how could I not be excited?
