Today's post is dedicated to a letter written by Odyssey titled "An Open Letter To Christmas" talking about the joys of Christmas. Please Enjoy!
Dear Christmas,
You are my absolute favorite time of the year.
Sure, summer break is great. You have months of freedom, no school to worry about, and vacation time. Sand, sun, surf, sunburn. It is, in itself, a wonderful time of year.
But Christmas is magical. There is an element to Christmas that is universal. Whether you're young or old or somewhere in between--whether you believe in Santa or not--Christmas has that same Christmas feeling. Anyone can enjoy Christmas, and almost everyone doesn't have to work on Christmas. During the summer, people have to work or go to summer school. But Christmas day is a day for everyone everywhere to enjoy. They call it the most wonderful time of year for a reason.
As soon as December rolls around, the world lights up. White lights, blue lights, purple and green and red lights. The world at night is completely aglow, full of snow and snowmen both real and fake. There are reindeer and Santas and Nativity scenes and icicles and ornaments. The winter air is sharp and fresh. Inside, trees light the rooms with a warm glow, rendering shadows soft and pliable. Reality takes a break to bask in the glow of the fire.
Christmas, you are a time of infinite possibilities. Anyone can get anything they want. Anything is possible. Wishes are made and granted. The air hums with the voices of millions of children whispering for their hearts' desires. Dreams are created and expanded and distributed beneath pine-scented limbs. A billion smiles widen in the orange-red glow of lit fireplaces.
Families come together. They bicker and argue, but love each other all the more at the end of the day. Friends become family and knit lives together. Love is shared and kindled and fanned into flames to warm even the coldest of hearts through the rest of winter.
