Christmas

Christmas is probably tied with Halloween as being my favorite holiday. There are many things to like about it! The whole wintery aesthetic is wonderful, and I love the red and green colors associated with it. Also... the music... It's always the same songs every year... I can already hear Mariah Carey defrosting... Overall Christmas is a very nostalgic and cozy holiday.

Now that I'm an adult, one of my favorite things to do is gift giving. I have younger siblings that I started doing Christmas shopping for. I do go a little overboard sometimes. I always got adrenaline and dopamine rushes from opening presents as a kid, so I enjoy passing down those same feelings to my siblings. (My other family members appreciate my gift giving too.) One downside is that children are expensive to shop for... :P But their reactions make it all worth it in the end.

Even though I personally celebrate Christmas, I do appreciate other holidays that happen around this time, and I make an effort to learn more about them as well. No matter what you celebrate, I hope you have a happy holidays.
