The tree is trimmed, the stockings are hung and Santa isloading up his sleigh. Christmas is not only a time of tradition, tasty treats and holiday cheer. It is a time where we give, receive and help those in need. Christmas is not just about the glittery tinsel wrapped around the tree, or the shiny presents below it, it’s about the vibrant spirit of Christmas floating in the air, the love shared between friends and family and the act of kindness spread to all. Christmas is the absolute best time of the year!
It is a time where we focus on our relationships, share laughs and a few sprinkled cookies too. When Christmas comes around we all are guilty of acting like kids again. Whether it’s the sugar rush from one too many cups of hot coco and candy canes or the warm fuzzy feeling we get in the pit of our stomach when we do a good deed, we all can be caught with rosy cheeks and happy hearts during this time of year. Whether you are 66 years old or 6 years old you probably celebrate in at least one of the following ways: 1. You start off the holiday season by gathering your friends and family to decorate the tree, hang the lights and get into the holiday spirit.
2. You get just a tad excited when
it comes to planning out your holiday festivities because there’s just so much
to do and with enough sugary sweets you might just be able to do it all. 
3. As soon as it is semi-appropriate you have Christmas
music on repeat for a month straight and you are most certainly not afraid to
sing as loud as you possibly can.
4. When it comes to picking out gifts for your loved ones you shop till you drop because love has no limits...
5. …unless you’re a broke college student.
6. You try to leave hints to your significant other of what you want for Christmas but they reply with, “But baby,…
7. And if you have no significant other you still have a
furry sweater that will snuggle you endlessly and shopping; because shopping
never fails. 
8. The holidays are always an excuse to celebrate the best
way we know how. 
9. Overall Christmas gives us that fuzzy feeling in our stomachs and we realize that it is much more than just a holiday and some twinkly lights and sparkly gifts underneath the tree, it is a state of mind that only true believers of the spirit of Christmas can see and it is with them that the love of Christmas and these endless traditions continue to live on.
10. Finally, when the
day is near we wait anxiously because the big man in the red suit is near and
we can hardly contain our excitement! 
No matter how you celebrate, Christmas is a time where joy is spread and love is shared and Christmas spirit is around every turn.
