Yes...I do know it is not even Thanksgiving yet. But I wanted to post in advance of the greatest holiday in my opinion.
Winter is not my favorite season. Although I think snow is beautiful and gorgeous, I am not a big fan of navigating or driving through snow and being physically cold.
However, November through New Year's is my favorite time of the year. In general, it seems the public is in a decently better and giving mood.
I really enjoy listening to Christmas music. It makes me so happy. Although my boyfriend doesn't care for it, he tolerates me listening to Christmas music from November 1st through Christmas. The Christmas music and the scents of the holiday, ie: apple cider, pumpkin, peppermint, evergreen, etc., puts me in a happy mood and I am reminded of what this glorious holiday is about--The birth of our savior. It moves me to remember that the person who died for my sins was born during this season.
As I struggle with issues that are all "mine" throughout the year, I am reminded during this wonderful season that I am not alone in my silent struggles (there are many of them). I know I am heard through prayer each and every day and thank God for giving his son as my savior.
I hope each and every one of you has a great holiday season. May Peace, Joy and Love be with you not just during this special time, but all year long!
