December is, and always has been, my favorite month. When I was little it was because it meant I was going to get lots of presents- in fact, it’s the only month that I get presents. Now that I’m older, and obviously wiser, it goes beyond that. People can’t have a bad attitude during December. No matter where you go, people are smiling and singing Christmas songs, and spending time with loved ones. It was with great joy that I returned to my room last night to put up lights, cover my door in wrapping paper and the newly crowned "sexiest man alive", set up our little tree, and switch my ringtone to my all time favorite Christmas carol- *NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.” Feel free to call me just to listen to this musical genius- I often let it ring much longer during this season just so I can enjoy it. This morning I got to open the first door on my Christmas song advent calendar to find my middle namesake- the First Noel. (props to Mom and Dad for never telling my that my middle name actually means Christmas- something I had to learn from Madame Daniel in 7th grade.) I refuse to ever abbreviate the name of this month- I always completely write out December.
This year will not disappoint. Brett gets back to the States a week from today, and comes up to Valpo the 11th. I am clearly excited about that. My birthday also brings extra excitement and promises good memories with a trip to Las Vegas with my crazy siblings- and there’s no one else I’d rather go with. To finish it out- I get to party with my best friends from home- and ring in the New Year like a real adult.
As I venture out into the Winter Wonderland of Valpo this time of year- I encourage you to look around you and see the season for what it is- hopefully December will become one of your favorite months too.
Miss and love-
