Prelude to December

December comes with many changes. The weather is chilly, the sky is gloomy, there’s no leaves on the trees, the days are shorter and the nights are longer. It’s quiet and calm, and for a while the world seems dull. Until it starts to snow.

Some people during the winter season are more likely to stay inside. Warm and toasty in front of a fire place drinking hot chocolate or tea reading a wonderful book.  While others see an opportunity to practice their favorite winter sports when the change in weather occurs. For example, Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and hockey. This time also brings families the opportunity to build a snow man, go sledding, play in the snow, take wonderful pictures of the children having fun, or go camping in a cabin up in the woods.

          When December starts you begin to see Christmas decorations everywhere and you get a glimpse at people's creativity. During this time families tend to get together and spend more time with each other, but it also means the commencement of Christmas music. Now some may think it's still too early to play Christmas music at the very beginning of the month or that a few people can only tolerate Christmas music a couple of weeks before the actual day. I disagree. I think it's never too early to start playing Christmas music, although maybe it is a little crazy to hear Christmas music when thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet. Well anyways my point is like I said December comes with many changes, this is a time to enjoy the cold weather, spread the joy, and embrace your close ones more than ever.
Here's a picture of a beautifully decorated house I saw in Sparks.
