“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.” – Edna Ferber
Christmas is my favourite holiday. I enjoy celebrating with family and friends, the decorations, and the all-around festive spirit that is in the air. I also appreciate tradition, seeing it as a way to relive and honour the past. My most loved traditions include making pizza on Christmas Eve with my husband, lunch/dinner on Christmas Day, and of course, putting up the tree. When I was young, my mother was very particular when it came time to decorate our tree. It had a theme: red and gold musical instruments and angels. I promised myself that when I was older and had my own tree, it would be a mix of whatever I wanted, disregarding any kind of motif. I have since kept my promise, and our Christmas tree truly represents my husband and me. From the macarons, to Star Trek and Star Wars, souvenirs from our travels, and The Beatles, each ornament holds significance to me.
Every Christmas I look forward to all the gatherings and spending time with the ones I love. Christmas isn’t just about the gifts and other material things; as Dr. Seuss wrote in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. Maybe Christmas, he thought… doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps… means a little bit more!”
