(no subject)
as i get older, spending time with my relatives becomes more and more enjoyable.
it used to be all about playing with my cousins and sitting at the "kids table" when i was little.
now i enjoy having conversations with everyone.
especially the older adults.
talking with them about their life experiences,
listening to what i may experience in my own future.
being a kid was always fun.
but being older, i now have a thirst for wisdom.
and my big family is a great resource for advice and encouragement.
being able to spend this time with my family is why i love the winter season so much.
to some people, the holidays only bring stress.
but as long as i get to spend the holidays with the ones i love most, i will continue to LOVE christmas time.
regardless of the stresses this season brings.

but there is only one thing i really want for christmas.
and that's a christmas spent with the love of my life.
