Dear Christmas,
Please come back. I don't want to have to wait 362 more days to see you again. You were so much fun this year. From the mistletoe, to my first church service in a long time (in which I literally felt the Holy Spirit come over me), to the amazing time spent with family, to the road trip to Cascade, to the awesome hot chocolate... I just want you to come back.
If you could also convince the local radio station to continue playing 24/7 Christmas favorites, that would be great. No matter how much I love Adele and Foster The People, I will always love Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby more. In fact, I think I may go ahead and turn my radio off this very moment and switch over to my Christmas station on Pandora... Yep. That was a good decision.
Christmas, you are so wonderful. I'm not sure what it is about you, but everyone was happy, joyful, thankful and loving this year. It was all so great, I just don't want you to end. So I think I'll keep celebrating you until New Year's Day, OK? I miss you already. Thank you for each amazing memory that was made this year.
With love,
Aunie
