Tis the Season

Hello November!

The hard part about committing to blog again is that I actually have to update the blog regularly.  LOL!  Okay.  Here we go.

It's the beginning of November and anyone who knows me well knows what I'm getting excited about...Christmas!  I LOVE the holiday.  I also love the season.  The weather gets chilly (off and on in LA), sweaters come out, holiday music begins to play, mugs of hot apple cider get passed around and trees and houses are decorated with sparkly, twinkly lights.  And people are friendlier too!  Imagine if people actually realized the true meaning for Christmas (i.e. Jesus).  It would be downright magical!

To be completely honest, in addition to being excited about celebrating Jesus' birth, I actually think the holiday season is romantic.  Imagine you are with the one you love (or are interested in).  You're having a great time (as usual).  But there's something about the atmosphere that charges the air more than normal.  As the 2 of you laugh and talk, you are both illuminated by the light that hundreds of colorful, tiny Christmas lights are giving off.  There's holiday music playing in the background - "This is Christmas" (by Plus One)..."Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"..."The First Noel"..."Oh, Holy Night" (my personal favorite).  And, the icing on the cake????  A fire roaring in a fireplace nearby.  You can't tell me that's not romantic.  If you don't agree, you're dead inside.  LOL!

I LOVE the holidays!!!!!! :-)
