December

And It begins.

This Blog is an account of ALL THE small THINGS that I am going to miss next year when i move away. I want to start with December. I'm sure everyone does the same thing as us on the 1st day of the month, but our December 1st is special; well at least to me it is. I was quite upset this year when it happened without me. I came home and the tree was up, the stockings were out, the decorations proudly displayed and the smell of CChristmas hit me as i walked through the door.
The smell is my second favorite part of Christmas. My most absolute favorite part of Christmas is that the closer and closer we get to December 25th, the nicer and nicer people get. People smile and wave at me, when if it was a normal month they would usually drive on by. Neighbors, who really aren't that close of neighbours stop by and give presents galore! EVERYONE donates non-perishable food items to the food bank. Boys shovel walks, girls sing carols (with the exception of a few talented boys) and grumpy old scrooges usually take the hint to be a little less well, Scroogy.
December is definitely one of the many small things i will miss when I'm gone. Hopefully December wont be all that different wherever it is that life decides to take me.
