I love the winter! It's my favorite time of the year because... I don't know. LOL! I guess because it is the one time of the year that I get to see my whole family happy and together.
At the end of November, it is always about Thanksgiving & the turkey... Basically just getting fat. Haha, but the food is just so good! Then the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday which I am never able to do. I want to sleep from eating all of that turkey. Haha! Then during December is when it all starts! Somewhere in November, I was in my friends seeing the movie The Haunting of Molly Hartley, and we saw the arrival of Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Promenade Mall. That was also the night they lit up the enormous Christmas tree. It was the first time for me to see the mall all decorated for Christmas since 7th grade. We passed a stand where some people were
selling ornaments, a couple groups of carolers (which could've possibly been the same groups), the scents of pine and cinnamon, passing Hickory Farms' stand, etc. On Christmas morning, I love watching my little sisters get overly excited because every year Santa leaves a trail of mini candy canes from each of our bedroom doors that leads down the stairs to the Christmas tree. Then they find an eaten up carrot outside on the driveway from the reindeer and all the cookies on Santa's plate is almost gone. It is so funny becuase they always get overly excited of all of the gifts Santa left them.
I remember when I was little, well.. Maybe in 6th or 7th grade, I heard that someone was getting a ring. So I just thought, "Awww, someone is getting married?" But I never thought deeply about it on who it was for. So on Christmas morning, my step dad Steve, gave me a tiny red and gold box that would only fit one thing. A ring. So when I was opening it, everyone was watching me. So when I lifted the lid, I was blinded by the shine of the diamond. Yeah, a diamond ring. Okay well he calls it a Princess Ring. But I just totally remember that moment.
My favorite movies to watch during the holidays:
- ELF
- Home Alone (all sequels)
- The Polar Express
- The Santa Claus (1-3)
- The Muppet Christmas Carol
- How The Grinch Stole Christmas
- A Christmas Story
- A Charlie Brown Christmas
- Shrek The Halls
