Nothing is more exciting then the holidays in the winter, at least for me! I love the winter unlike some people. I think it's so exciting to just look out the window and all you see is bright white snow on the ground, the wet streets, the frosted windows of buildings and the trees all perfectly topped with white snow flakes. I think it’s so pretty and joyful to just walk outside and enjoy the outdoors, even though it's cold or freezing outside. Don't get me wrong; I do not like the cold weather to the point where you are freezing your hands off. Believe me, I know what it's like to freeze outside, I live outside of Chicago in the suburbs! But the good thing about winter is all of the holidays that come along with it. I love the great feeling of having all of your family around for the holidays starting with thanksgiving. I am certainly a family-oriented girl, I love being around all of my family and friends for the holidays. I enjoy those peaceful and relaxed winter nights where all you do is sitting around and hangout with the family or friends sipping on hot chocolate occasionally. I love nights with my friends where we always come to my house in my basement and hangout and watch movies all night. It’ll definitely be different this year as many of my old friends have changed since we’ve been apart, but I do know it’ll still be so great to be together like old times. I definitely feel so at peace in the winter because a majority of people are at a happy state and have the holiday spirit. I honestly can't wait to go home to spend the holidays with everyone back at home, especially since there will be no classes for me during that time!
