Why Christmas Is The Best Holiday

This time of year is full of merriment and cheer

Dec 12, 2016

Christmas is everything to me. This time of year brings so much joy into my life it's unreal. I am high on candy canes, pine trees, and everything red and green. I get excited about the smallest things and if I find something in a store that is Christmas related I instantly squeal a little bit. There is just something about this time of year that puts everyone in a better mood. I love the generosity that seems to spread around Christmas time. Basically anything to do with this time of year is a plus for me.

I've been in love with Christmas since before I could talk. Not just because of the presents, but because of the family and happiness that swirls the air. I have a huge Italian family that would get together around the holidays and it would definitely be a houseful. Everyone has a smile on their face and everything is great.

I see Christmas as a giving holiday. I love to donate and give whatever I can, even though I don't have that much. I also love to spoil my family and friends because they deserve it. They mean so much to me and if I can spoil them even a little bit, it makes me feel good inside.

Christmas is just a happy and magical time of year. It is a time to be thankful for what you have and to take a look at yourself and think about all of the good things in life. The movies, hot cocoa, and fuzzy socks make me so incredibly happy around this time of year.

Christmas makes me giddy and reminiscent of my childhood. I can only hope some of you feel the same way. This Christmas take the time to be thankful for those in your life and appreciate what you have. The holidays are full of cheer and merriment. Don't let anything get you down around this time of year. Do something for the greater good and your kindness will spread.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
