Christmas?

It's funny how the holidays affect different people. It is nowhere near the holidays right now, but I'm just stating my little thought. I'm such a winter person I was definitely born in the right place, I'm not sure if that's where I'd like to go back to forever, but Alaska is the most magical place at Christmastime. The snow weighs down every branch, the sun comes out for a few hours in the middle of the day to make the whole world sparkle. There are Christmas lights on every surface possible, there is the people walking around with flushed and happy faces. There are memories of Christmas past. There are phone calls to all your family and loved ones. It is a time of year where everyone says, "Merry Christmas" not just to people you know, but everyone. The cashier at the grocery store smiles and bids you glad tidings and it's like the whole world is smiling. There's the endless amount of baking and sharing goodies with all the friends you've made and kept over the years. The warm happy homes compared to the cold happy marshmallow world. A hot cup of cocoa or cider and a cookie or two is just the thing to put anyone in the right mood. I just don't understand how people could not like this time of year, It is silly how happy it makes me when snow falls. Standing on a cliff watching the snow fall silently till it touches everything around you. There isn't a sound in the world, it's just you, the snow and the wonder of the earth and all it's mysteries. It is definitely my favorite time of year, I love them all, but like any backwards human being summer is my least favorite. Especially here in Utah where it seems to go on forever and ever. Oh dear, it's quite late. I really should be sleeping. I'll work on that soon.
I am a happy person, I have just been under a lot of stress, that is my only problem. I will be more than fine, there won't be an issue for very much longer. And when the weather starts to change I will be back to my normal happy self. No worries.
