Holidays
Top ten things I love about the holidays:
1] Snow. I generally hate snow. Every so often, however, I realize how beautiful it really is and that I love the way it crunches under my feet.
2] Christmas Sweaters. Especially teacher's Christmas sweaters. I think when I become a teacher, I'll wear one once a year just for fun.
3] City Christmas Lights. All the trees and street lamps look so pretty covered in strings of lights. It makes me want to put on my hat and a scarf and stroll around downtown.
4] Month long break from classes. Do I really need to say more?
5] Giving presents. There's nothing more exciting that finding the perfect gift for someone. Even if it's small, even if it's a piece of paper, it's something that shows you care for that person.
6] Receiving presents. If you are one of those people who say you don't like getting presents for Christmas, you need to stop lying. You're making all of us look bad.
7] Christmas Music. It makes everything better. It makes my shifts at work go so much faster, even though the station never plays my favorite:
8] Christmas Trees. I love coming home to see a lighted tree in the window. Now that I have a real tree for the first time in years, it's even better. The whole house smells delightful.
9] The Nutcracker. I finally get to see the ballet this year for the first time since high school. It's one of my favorite things and I can't believe I've missed it so many years in a row.
10] Going home to see family and friends. Whether I'm going to Vegas to see my dad or Pocatello to see my mom, I get to see people I love. And that's awesome.
