Snowflakes on my tongue.

So, i guess we all have noticed already; but winter is here. The snow is falling right now as i speak and i wish i could go outside right now and stick my tongue in the air; catch those beautiful snowflakes that fall so nicely from the sky. Some say that winter sucks. 1) it is so cold outside. 2) Walking in the snow is a pain and 3) why love the snow when the sun seems to benefits you more, its warm and simply why not right? Well, regardless of the cold, the snow and the fact that summer is enjoyable i find that winter is magical. By magical i do not mean Santa Claus and his reindeer. I mean the magic of imagination and wonder. Something about the winter gives me imagination and wonder that i like so greatly. The ability to go outside and make snow angles or simply watching the snow fall is beautiful and brings joy and peace in your heart. It also brings enjoyment, it is easy to have fun and enjoy life. Now a days everyone is to busy buying gifts and shopping to really enjoy the holidays the way it was intended. There is nothing wrong with buying gifts and shopping; but when that is all you do you take the true meaning of the holidays out of your normal routine. This Christmas, my goal is to focus more on the joy and togetherness of the holidays rather than shopping consistently. It seems to me that the holidays would not feel the same to me without some snow on the ground. That could be simply because i am truly Canadian and the fact that i am a winter girl; born in the heart of winter. What i find to be a highlight is the first snow fall of the season. As the time gets cold you gather around the fire with a hot chocolate and think about life and others as well as the blessings. Furthermore, winter is a time for me to grow as a person because it brings so much emotion and thought that you would have to walk away with some form of growth within you ( which is what i love). Winter is a blessing and i am so grateful for its existence.

I love winter and nothing could ever change that.
