Christmas/the Holiday Season, even though I'm not Christian.
I think Christmas represents more than being Christian. It's the magical joy and cheer that permeates every particle that is in the air during this time between Black Friday and Christmas Day. If Jess Yang were here, I'd ask her to figure out the chemistry of what exactly that joy and cheer is. There is just so much love and possibility, it makes apps and the coming of decisions almost bearable. Not the mention the fact that it makes me want to sing holiday songs at the top of my lungs (now that is saying something, since not even Adina has heard me sing that much in our twelve years of friendship).
As with every year, I need to make everything in my life ready for this season. I just put up my Christmas tree on Saturday. It's glowing rainbow colors on my floor right now, and all glittery with our baubles from when I was five years old (whatever is left/hasn't shattered yet) and the other assortment of ornaments saved up over the years. Outdoor lights should go up this weekend, hopefully. My internet themes are all changed, and I am singing... in the quiet privacy of my bedroom.
Trips to NYC are due, parties to attend, presents that need to be bought, cookies to be baked, popcorn for the reindeer...... everything.
Because, quite honestly, it's the most wonderful time of the year. :)
