The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

It may not look like Christmas just yet but it will be here before we know it.  Every year I get filled with holiday cheer and try to make the season last as long as I can.  I play Christmas music as much as I can and really enjoy putting up decorations and lights all over the house.  I try to get every person I know into the holiday spirit, which sometimes doesn’t go so well.

I try to get my tree up on Veteran’s Day or shortly after.  I play Christmas music well before Thanksgiving, and people think I have lost my mind when I make them listen along.  I have friends and family that will not come to my house until Thanksgiving Day so they aren’t overloaded with Christmas.  If I had my way the Christmas season would last all year long.  It’s not about the presents.  It’s not about the food.  It’s about the feeling you have when you know you get to share your love with your family and spend extra time together.  I try to go to as many Christmas celebrations as possible (remember it’s not about the food) and have the people I care about near me whenever I can.  I want to have this time with my family and friends all year long and that is why this is, truly, the most wonderful time of the year.
