Dear Christmas,

Thank you so much for bringing out the best in just about everyone. I know that when a lot of people think of you, they think of presents and Santa Claus, but instead I just think of happiness. You really are the most wonderful time of the year. You bring together families and friends and remind everyone how truly blessed they are to have these important people in their lives. There is nothing better than seeing your family from all across the world or seeing cousins that have come home from college.

Although many people think this is a stressful season, it is really only because of what a big importance you have. You are an excuse to show how much love we each have for each other, by giving the ones we love presents. Thank you for giving us a reason to decorate our houses with tiny snowmen, Santas, and snowflakes. Also, for letting us the bake the most festive and delicious snowman, snowflake, and Christmas tree cookies. Thank you for creating so many memories along the way.

Thank you for lighting up the world. Christmas lights around towns or on houses just remind us to spread the light and goodness in the world. You also remind us to be thankful for the things we have and to think about those less fortunate. It reminds us to give back to the community. Thank you for reminding us that it is better to give than to receive. Nothing can brighten your day like seeing someone love the present you got them.

Thanks for giving us the catchiest and happiest music on the planet. I don't think there is anyone out there who doesn't smile when All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey comes on or anyone out there that doesn't belt it out when it is played. Thank you for decking the halls, and letting everyone show off their silly sides with Santa hats, reindeer ears, and the best ugly Christmas sweaters. Not to mention Christmas parties are the absolute best. Thank you for truly making this time of the year festive, fun, and full of love.

Love,
