Christmas is for sure a month long celebration. By the time December 1st rolls around, all the festive activities and traditions are pretty much in full swing. From advent calendars and ugly sweaters, to markets and parades, Christmas takes over like no other. I love the fact that even though Christmas is at the end of the month, pretty much all of December is dedicated to this holiday.
A lot of Christmas revolves around giving and showing gratitude. I love shopping for gifts. Unlike birthdays, Christmas is a chance to spend on all your family and friends. There's no limit to the number of people you can buy presents for. I love sitting down and remembering all the inside jokes and happy times I've had with a person then writing out a list of possible present ideas based on those memories. There are so many people in my life that I'm extremely grateful for and there's no better time than Christmas to show my appreciation.
During December, interiors are transformed. While I love seeing my house all decorated for Christmas, it's actually the public spaces that fuel my festive spirit. The holiday music in supermarkets, the tinsel in store windows, the massive Christmas trees in shopping malls. Every time I leave the house, I am constantly reminded of Christmas and I am not complaining in the slightest!
Holiday cheer is definitely real. This month so far has definitely been my happiest and I'm honestly not surprised! Christmas is a time to relax, unwind, spend time with loved ones, sing carols and eat lots of delicious food. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
Thanks for reading! And look out for my last Christmassy post of 2018, coming next week!
December is my favorite month for this reason! All of the festivities happening all month long. I LOOOOOVE wearing sweaters! I agree with you about all of these points. People come up with the cutest decorations ever.

ReplyDeleteI find December really stressful usually! I never know what I want to get people and then start worrying about running out of time. It's really nice walking through towns and shopping malls and seeing all of the lights and decorations though x

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely, uplifting post! I love December, Christmas is such a special event and I love that there is so much cheer around. In my town we have a Christmas market that is absolutely packed full of people, but it's so nice to see everyone smiling and having a good time. Seeing all the decorations and lights is my favourite too, definitely puts you in the spirit of things!

Yessss! Christmas really is a wonderful time of the year for me, because of our daughter. Flora's eight and we get to do all the kid-friendly stuff at Christmas - school carol concerts, cake sales, trips out ice skating, etc. It's so lovely so see how excited she is and to be able to share that with her - I can't wait for Christmas Day now. As you say, spending time with family and friends is what it's all about at this time of the year :) x

Just like you, I like the most how festive public space looks during this.time of the year. I love Christmas and everything about it, from songs to movies, and especially food. But of course, the atmosphere is what I like the most.
