Not sure what has "sparked" my current appreciation, but over the past couple weeks I've found myself (and those in the car with me) randomly turning onto various streets and neighborhoods to gaze and gawk at the beautiful Christmas lights that have set aglow the houses of Arlington.
I've always been a lover of the Holidays, but recently my love for the Christmas season of 2008 has been bubbling over. I've found much unexpected joy in the little things this season:
The Christmas drink selections from Starbucks
Christmas decorations that adorn every building I enter
Cold Nights, fun coats, warm gloves, and beautiful scarves
The Faith Hill Christmas station on Pandora
The excuse to make Christmas cookies whenever I want while still appearing a normal person
The unexpected, but greatly anticipated, random forecasts for snow
Christmas movies that can only be appropriately enjoyed 30 days of the year
It comes up quick, doesn't last for long, and can be pretty stressful, but I hope everyone is able to find their little joys in the beauty that is this season.
Merry Christmas!
