so I absolutely LOVE this time of the year, as I'm sure y'all all know :) Halloween to January is the best time of the year. Just in case you haven't heard this, I'll outline my reasoning. Halloween: we dress up. And get candy. And it's Georgia-Florida. Really? What else do you need? November brings my BIRTHDAY (21 this year--yay!) and Thanksgiving. Oh Thanksgiving. A no pressure holiday. Bring food. Eat food. The end--no presents to worry about, thank you notes, just a great way to bring in the holiday season!
And then we have December. Let's just review: Christmas movies, Christmas carols, Christmas cookies, Christmas milkshakes. Everything Christmas! And everyone's in a great mood. And everyone is loving and giving and just wonderful :) Haha. Maybe a little overboard, but whatevs.
And New Years. I love New Years, the opportunity to start over. The hope of a new year. Looking back on all of the wonderful things of the past year. A few years ago, my mother began having us each set goals, and each month we "report" on our progress at a family dinner. Yes, we all sigh and dread it sometimes, but I actually enjoy setting goals. Anticipating great changes and great possibilities.
Along that line, here's a great blog by Don Miller about the new year!
