An Alphabetical List Of The Best Things About The Holidays

A is for Angels. Don't underestimate the power of a guardian angel watching over you this winter.

B is for Boots. Riding boots, over-the-knee boots, combat boots, Hunter boots, Bean boots... Whatever suits your style, this season is the perfect excuse to break out your favorite pair.

C is for Christmas Carols. "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." -Elf

D is for Decorations. Driving through neighborhoods full of lights is a sure-fire way to get yourself in the spirit!

E is for Eggnog. The official drink of Christmas.

F is for Food. Feasts of your favorite festive dishes will fill the table - and your tummy.

G is for Gingerbread. Whatever form it may take: a gingerbread house, a gingerbread man or woman, or simply gingerbread cookies, you can count on this treat to be delicious every time.

H is for Hope. There's something about January rolling around that gives you a sense of new beginnings, and it's the perfect time to start thinking about your New Year's Resolutions.

I is for Ice Skates. Even if you're not the most skilled at skating, it's fun to get bundled up and enjoy the winter weather.

J is for Jesus. The holidays are so much fun, but let's not forget what Christmas is all about.

K is for Kris Kringle. The other person Christmas is all about, duh.

L is for Lights.

M is for Mittens. Nothing says winter like a pair of cute mittens wrapped around a hot cocoa.

N is for Nutcracker. The beautiful music of the Nutcracker is the soundtrack to Christmas.

O is for Ornaments. Especially the sentimental ones.

P is for Presents. No explanation needed.

R is for Reunions. Being with friends and family during this time of giving is a great excuse to get everyone together.

S is for Sales. And Snow. And Sleighs. And Snowflakes. And Sweaters.

T is for Tree. Outside, they just look so beautiful covered in snow, and inside, they look almost even more beautiful covered in lights.

U is for Unwrap. Seeing your loved ones tear into their gifts with a smile on their face somehow makes the holiday shopping craze well worth it.

V is for Vixen. The most underrated reindeer of course.

W is for Wreaths.

X is for Xmas. Although it's not the only holiday of the season, it's one of the most widely celebrated!

Y is for Yuletide.

Z is Zealous... Which is the spirited, enthusiastic way most people look at the New Year this season.
