December First | My favorite time of the year.

     This is my absolute favorite time of the year, by far. For most it is the actual day of a holiday such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years but for me I'm all about the in between part. Now, here on campus this in between part can become a bit stressful due to final exams and wondering whether or not we're going to pass the class but that is a horse of a different color.
     At this time, I feel as if everyone forgets about their sorrows and just starts to enjoy the company of others. Maybe I'm completely wrong and it is the total opposite, either way it does not affect how I feel. I love all the joyful music and smiles that I see when I'm out and about. I love being able to say happy holidays to any person that happens to pass by, and then they get this slight smile. Being able to donate my loose change to the Salvation Army member wringing their bell non-stop. The warm rich smell filling my nose as I walk into my house. Crisp white falling snow. Being able to fall asleep by the wood burning fireplace at my father's house while having the cats curl up next to me. Sipping hot chocolate and almost burning my tongue, waiting impatiently for the lighting of the tree. Streaming popcorn and dried fruit for the outdoor tree that we put up for the birds. I love it. It's my favorite time of the year.

Steamy Breath.

     So it happened today, at 8:11am to be exact. I saw my breath. You know, when it gets so cold that when you breath outwards the water vapors of your hot exhale can be seen. The best way I believe it can be described is a fire-breathing dragon, minus the fire. 

     But anyways, it happened, and you know what that means? Well if I was at home, I would be getting ready for the final bonfire, thinking about where to get our Christmas tree, raking leaves, filling bird feeders and putting corn out for the deer so they can get fat for winter. Also having flannel Fridays at school. There's so much that changes once the weather becomes cool. You know what else it means when you can see your breath? It means winter is sneaking up on us; and that my friends is a different blog post in itself.

 We all do it. Exhale a heavy hot breath onto a chilled window and then draw on it. Then within the minute our mothers yell at us for doing it, saying how much of a buggar it is to clean and how we're making it all smuggy. Oh well, it never stops us from doing it. I guarantee many adults still partake is this simple activity.
