'Tis The Season

I love the holidays. Despite the chilly weather, everything is so beautiful. The sparkling white snow engulfing the world in it's bright glow. The festive decorations on houses and shops. The sales on everything! Just one more reason to go shopping. Visiting family; the ones I love the most.

But what I think I like the best about the holiday season is it gives me the best gift I could ever ask for; ever.

Time off.

I love to travel. I love it. I love to get away and explore the world and break from the social norm that kills me slowly from the inside. This highly anticipated time off is truly a blessing. It doesn't matter where I go. It doesn't usually matter who I'm with. All I know is that when I can forget about all the stress, all the useless stuff that is preoccupying my life way too much of the time, I feel better. About everything. And that's good.

So, I'm grateful, to the holiday season for giving me something to look forward to; for giving me another reason to be happy.

This year, my family and I are going to Arizona. I'm excited; I've never been before. But I'm assuming it will be warm! And I like the heat.
