// CHRISTMAS//

I’ve bought presents for everyone, I’ve been wrapping presents, I’ve gone to see the Christmas lights, I’ve sung all the carols, I made cookies, I decorated the tree, and so on and so forth! I am so so so excited for christmas but sadly it still doesn’t feel like its that time of year for some reason.

I miss the excitement I used to have when I was a kid.. my whole family would go to NYC to see the Christmas Spectacular show at Rockefeller Center at some point after Thanksgiving. and then on Christmas Eve I’d go to my Aunt & Uncle’s house and run around with tons of energy anticipating Santa’s arrival that night. I’d get into my PJs before I even got home! and on the car ride back to my house I’d stare out the window and SWEAR that I saw Santa’s sleigh fly by. I know it seems ridiculous for me to expect to have that same excited and magical feeling now at age 20, but I wish Christmas still had that amazing spark. 

Even though I don’t have the same child-like feelings about Christmas anymore, it’s still my absolute favorite holiday and time of year. I love being with my family and giving everyone presents and stuffing my face at dinner :) sounds like a pretty good time to me!
