I love this time of year. No, it's not because I get a cold about every other week. No, it's not the snow and ice on my car. No, it's not the shortness of sunlight. I love it because of the holiday season. I love listening to Christmas music, only if it is after Thanksgiving and before the new year. I love the Christmas movies. I love the lights around the house. I love our Christmas tree. I love watching it snow. I love the fact that it is this time of year that people think of others rather than themselves. It may be the darkest time of year, but it is the brightest of my life.
