From November till January it feels like almost nothing can get me down. Between the weather getting cooler, the leaves changing, and just the feeling of the holiday season upon us, I can't help but be happy. This is my favorite time of the year. I can't pin down exactly what it is, but it's almost just like there is a feeling in the air. As soon as that first cool breeze blows an overwhelming feeling of joy comes upon me.
Whenever I think about Thanksgiving and Christmas all I think is that I get to spend time with my family doing all the things that I've done since I was kid. I get to act like I'm ten again and get away with it. Making gingerbread houses, picking out the tallest tree that will fit in the living room, putting up christmas lights-these are just a few of my family's holiday traditions. As soon as the weather gets cold all I can think about is how I can't wait to do all those things.
This can be bad because it makes me lose focus in school. All I can think about is the holiday that is only days away. So, my goal is to work as hard as I can so that I can enjoy my holiday more-it's harder than it sounds. But hey, I did get this blog done one time : ) So, I guess that's something.

i really like how your family still has some of the same traditions since you were a kid. my family has kept some of the same ones, but we have also gotten some news ones as well.
Spending time with family is definitely something I enjoy, too. We still continue some traditions but are breaking the Thanksgiving tradition this year and spending it in Washington, D.C. I'm really excited, though.
Hey,
don't be too harsh. Enjoy the holidays because it's definitely a time to relax.
And if you don't the loose the real focus about Christmas, I absolutely can see nothing wrong about enjoying to be a ten year-old again :-)
yeah-hanging out with the family is the best ever. we have started our new traditions but also have been using some of the old ones as well. hope your thanksgiving was amazing. :D
This is my favorite time of the holidays as well. I love making gingerbread houses, putting up the tree and decorating the house and tree with lights. The smells of Christmastime and all the baking and cooking is WONDERFUL! Like you said we continue alot of our traditios but we have also added some new ones.
