The Best Time of Year

Have you ever been outside on a beautiful, snowy winter day with a fresh white blanket of snow on the ground? If you have then you know why I think the holidays are the best and most peaceful time of year.

The holidays are a great and peaceful time of year because you get to spend fantastic quality time with your beloved family. Every time you are at a Christmas gathering or just sitting in your house on a winter night doing something with your family, it is always a special time. When you have Christmas dinner and open gifts you talk and laugh with your family. In or around the holidays, there are usually no doubtful or sad times.

Next, you get to celebrate Christmas and open and share gifts with others. When you give a gift you see your family and friends smile. Also they are very appreciative of your gift for them. I love giving and getting gifts. It is always a fun time for me.

Last, but not least, you get to sit by the crackling fire with a cup of hot chocolate, the T.V. on and a warm blanket on you. During the holidays you have less stress and not a lot to worry about. Except for getting all your Christmas shopping done and dodging all the frantic holiday shoppers. That's just another unique and great thing about the holidays.

There are many wonderful reasons why the holidays are so peaceful and amazing and these are a few of them. I hope you holidays are as outstanding and peaceful as they are in this editorial. Happy Holidays!!!
