That Time Again

It's that time of the year again. November has now ended and December starts tomorrow. When December roles around, everyone knows what's happening: it's Christmas time! I am really excited for Christmas, not only for the presents, but also for the long break from school. One thing I really wish for this Christmas is for there to be snow. A couple years ago I experienced my first snowless Christmas and it was somewhat depressing in that aspect. December starts tomorrow, so I hope it will start snowing and that it will stay on the ground instead of melt away.

I've noticed something recently. Novembers absolutely hate me. I look back on the past few years and Novembers have been the most miserable time of the year for me, and I wonder why. I could go on stating why it is so, but that wouldn't really accomplish anything. Some of my darkest moments of my life happen during the months of November and that is all that needs to be said.

With that being said, I always look forward to Decembers! This year particularly because after thirteen years of two week breaks for Christmas and the New Years, I technically get a month now! Of course I have to work hard on my finals and not let $2500 go to waste for my first semester of university but I would like to dwell in the fact that it's holiday season again. There are so many things to look forward during the month of December. Christmas is always fun and cool where you get to hang out with your family and friends and just have a blast of a time and share great memories somewhere down the road. I, personally look forward to boxing day. I was talking to a friend a while back about how I only need to shop twice a year. Boxing day is one of them. I am loading myself up for this one as I anticipate to be making a few big purchases for myself (= If you want to know, one has to do with my favorite hockey team and another has to do with the one thing that dominates my life other than God. This gets me pretty hyped, I'll admit. To me, December is also a month of reflection and to finish off the year strong. I don't think enough people do reflections and thinking because it's one of the things that allows someone to be a very driven character. I treasure my reflective/thinking time greatly because it allows me to assess who I am and what's going on in my life and what I need to do to make myself a better person. December is also a time to look back to the past January and say, "oh look! I broke my New Year's resolutions in just a matter of a couple weeks." I do that almost every year.

Song of the month this December could quite possibly be "Last Christmas", but I won't elaborate why
(= Here's to hoping everyone has a blissed and blessed month of December.
