you know when you look out the window, there's little snowflakes falling outside, everything seems so bright, yet so cold. and you're warm and cozy inside your house, maybe a fire going, candles burning. you're family is surrounding you, all your aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, mom, dad, siblings. all just sitting together around the living room, telling jokes and bringing back old memories from years passed. christmas carols playing in the background, so gentle and welcoming. the Christmas tree, lights twinkling and showing off the shiny ornaments.
the turkey dinner, and how everyone sits around the table and passes endless plates of food to one another, laughing and smiling the whole time. stuffing yourself with too much dessert, because that last square looked too good to pass up, or you just couldn't wait another year to have some more of Oma's rice pudding.
i love Christmas, everything is just so wonderful, and cozy and just so happy! i find that if i just take a moment while all my family's around me and appreciate what i have i can really see what a lucky person i am.
lots of love
