Christmas is right around the corner and it has me thinking about romance and being in a relationship. This time of year can be fun and magical, yet for some it is lonely and sad. I have thought about it a lot lately. How much it can hurt to break up with someone you love this time of year but it happens. And as much as we all get sad, we still need to pick ourselves up and remember that we all have loved ones around us. Maybe they are family, maybe they are friends, but life has always given us some unexpected people to care for and share our…

There is something to say for this season that makes going to the market just a bit more fun. I love going to Christmas markets, and I have enjoyed this year so far about three. Each one has different things to enjoy and different ideas to show. There is so much you can enjoy going to a Christmas market. I know that some will say there are just too many people and too many expensive things. But I say it is not about buying or the amount of people. It is about getting into a Christmas mood and seeing all the cool ideas that can bring you. My favourite kinds…

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. How I love the snow at Christmastime. I will say it is the only time during the year that I love to have snow. Once the holidays are over, it could pack up and go (although that is not the case). However, snow makes Christmas more magical. The lights look more twinkly when there is snow, and a romantic walk outside with lights all around is much more romantic when there is snow. It makes Christmas time cheerier and fun. I know that cold weather is not for everyone, not even me, but I love the magic that comes during this…

I love Christmas lights. I have finally put my lights up outside for Christmas. I love the way the lights look at night as I stroll by. It gives such a warm feeling even when it is cold outside. Although I am still waiting on the snow to walk around looking at the lights, I still think lights are some of the best parts of Christmas. It even has a romantic side when the snow has fallen, and the lights glisten against the snow. It can be said to have a magical feel. I just love that kind of Christmas magic. I think that the mixture of lights and snow…

I know it is not Christmas yet, not even the month of Christmas, but I usually start decorating that day after Halloween. But for some reason, this year I am late. I have just now started to decorate, and not much. I have not even decorated the outside. I put a wreath up, but I am having difficulty getting into the spirit of Christmas this year. I do not even know why. This is my favourite time of year, and I have made all the plans, but I am feeling a bit less in the mood. Does that ever happen to you?  I do not know what is the reason…
