December

December 1st has arrived,

The year is almost at it's end.

For me,

this time of year becomes

magical-

Briskly cold and pure winds,

carry the first Snowflakes of the year,

Quietly dancing haphazardly through the sky;

Sunlight reflecting their sparkles.

I love the feeling of taking a

deep breath

of the cold, winter air through my nose.

It can wake the dead it's so crisp and pure.

Frost-crusted grass that crunches in the early morning

as people make their way to their respective places.

Holiday scents of cinammon, candy cane and

fresh baked cookies.

People bundled up in their

scarves and

mitts and

oversized boots and

oh-so-Canadian toques.

The last leaves of fall

cling onto the sparse branches of the

soon to be slumbering trees. 

Rosey cheeks and noses;

the visibility of one's breath-

Hot chocolate

and cozy blanketed filled evenings.

The prolonged stay of the moon and night

allows us to better appreciate the

Sun's presence.

Tinsel,

Bells,

Brightly lit lights

and the warm Spirit that fills us.

... I've never been a big fan of the cold,

drawn- out,

Canadian winter; however,

It really is a beautiful 

and Magical

time of year.

Enjoy your December <3
