an ode to joy on the holiday season

For a couple of months, I've thought about starting a blog and now I've actually gone and done it again. I started a couple before, but never have they quite panned out. So here we go again. And as a December baby, what better way to start this blog out than to talk about Christmas and the holiday season.

I love the holidays. I've always enjoyed the Holidays, but particularly, I'm starting to love them now that I'm in college. I don't know what it is. No, that was a lie. The break is so much longer and I can spend my Christmas break, doing what I like to do around Christmas, which is practice those creative things I love to do, spend time with the family, watch love actually and other Christmas movies, and listen to Christmas music. It also helps matters that Starbucks carries the peppermint mocha now.

There are also great Christmas specials on and it always reminds me that these days are often the happiest of the year. The specialness of it all is keeping me warm. Still, I can't wait for the new year. I also have a quite a bit of business to attend to right now. One of them being, trying to edit my NaNoWriMo novel, A Melody of Success, so I should get on that, but right now, all I can think about is the other things. The christmas and holiday stuff. There's more to my life, but this right now is an important step. Who knows what next year will bring, only that it will bring as is inevitable.

The future seems bright though in this time, but maybe that's just because of all the holiday lights. I, however, will not be that pessimistic about this. Good tidings will come. We just have to wait for them. And they may not be what we intended to get, but they will be good tidings.
