Magic's in the air
On Saturday, I woke up to white ground: the first snow was here (and still is. Yay!). There I was, in the morning, reading a book in the living room and gazing outside to beautiful view, and my parents told me they were going shopping. CHRISTMAS! my mind screamed to me, because it really felt like so.
Then later I was hanging out with a group of scouts and my friend mentioned that in the shop there'd been plenty of Christmas-stuff already, and I told that this morning it really felt like Christmas, and a guy went "Nooooo! It's two freaking months away!" and I agreed, but then I started thinking.
What's wrong with feeling like Christmas even if it's still so far? Because, you know, I don't always feel that Christmas-y at the actual Christmas, and that feeling is great, so shouldn't I try to feel it whenever possible? To me, Christmas-feeling means something magical, it has a feel of leisure, secrets, surprises and excitment in it - it's a wonderful feeling. So, why wouldn't I welcome it, no matter if it's October or December 24th or April?
(Especially now magical feelings like that would be welcome. Please, RL, die off and leave me in peace!)
