It’s easy to talk about this time of year being awesome. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, winter solstice, or Festivus, there’s something for everyone to like. Big, rich food. Chilly weather (that you’re not totally sick of yet), and a warm house. Sparkly lights. Parties. Thick sweaters. Music that reminds you of childhood. Don’t act like you don’t sing along to Rudolph full-voice in the car.
It’s also the only time of the year where you can feel like a child when you walk into a well-decorated room. It’s fun! You can go waaaaay overboard on the decorations, cookies, and snowman sweaters, and everyone loves it. The word for this time of year is “wonder”, I think. Child-like faith and wonder is paramount, and sometimes, it’s nice to stop feeling like such a grownup.
