One of my favourite Christmas songs starts out with the words "It's the most wonderful time of the year". Well, I couldn't agree more. To me, Christmas time is a time of family, friends, of giving gifts and enjoying the splendours of life. At the end of the year, everyone is a little and Christmas just perks everyone up in time for the New Year to start. Apart from being the most wonderful time of year, it is also my favourite time of year.
Christmas is a time of year that gives me the chance to give thanks for all the love and success I was given throughout the year. Weeks are spent baking, preparing Christmas presents and writing cards. Around Christmas, we get the chance to tell the people we love just how much we love them. This is the reason I will be walking through the crisp cold air tomorrow morning with two bags bursting with gifts swinging at my side. It is simply something I enjoy to do. Sitting at my desk, thinking of the millions of little ways I can surprise a person ... such as making Christmas cards myself!
It's only a few days to Christmas now, time to put up the Christmas tree and wrap the last presents. There will be Christmas music in the background and the smell of German "Honigkuchen", cinnamon stars and hot chocolate in the air. Christmas is one of those times of year that are really all about enjoyment. The only thing missing around here is snow. But I hope that part will come in eventually.
And then it's only another week to New Year's Eve ... I couldn't be more excited to take this blog into the new year. It has truly inspired me to write more and to be creative!
Finally, I want to share a "not so Christmassy" song with you. It's a medley of "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay and "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, by two amazing musicians. Check out their channels for more amazing classic-meets-pop videos! This medley truly brings a smile to my face and perfectly captures my mounting sense of excitement as Christmas approaches.
Back to wrapping gifts then,
Love x
