It’s not much of a secret, to be honest, what my favorite holiday is. You can walk into my shed and see boxes filled with Christmas decorations, t-shirts that are Christmas themed, and one day a Christmas themed tattoo. That’s my holiday. That’s my happy time. && I’m pretty sure there are many reasons why, I won’t take up 1000 minutes of your time with every reason so I’ll knock it down to two reasons: One, it’s so much cooler around Christmas; Two, the decorations / music / movies / people.
From March until around October in Southern Oklahoma it’s hot. Humid. It’s gross. So when November && December comes around it begins to cool off && usually, I say usually because it’s not always true, around Christmas it’s in the 50’s to 60’s. Sometimes, even cooler. It’s definitely a Christmas gift all on it’s own.
I can’t stray away from looking at the decorations to listening to the music or even watching those horrible Hallmark movies that you can watch && know exactly what is going to happen. You always know. There’s jokes about how horrible those movies really are. But I don’t care. I love – LOVE – Christmas movies. In fact, I have a few that I must watch yearly: Santa Clause (only the first one), && Christmas With the Kranks. But from there, I watch them all. I even may re-watch some that I have watched before just to get my fill. I’ll even subscribe to the Hallmark Movie Channel for two months out of the year. It’s like a drug.
I know, this isn’t always true, but usually, normally, sort of – kind of, people are just infinitely happier around Christmas. && when people are happier, I’m happier. I don’t do well with a lot of negative vibes, never have, it eats at me slowly until I’m just uncomfortable which in turn makes me unhappy. Cranky even. But with people smiling, happy, giddy, I am all of those things && more because now I can go into public and not be a “bah hum bug”. But of course, you still come across those people, it just happens. But I try my best to get away from them as quick as I can so I don’t have to deal with it. It bums out my style.
