Take time to read this carefully and prepare for some fond memories.
Normally I'm not good at getting into the Christmas mood. I usually don't actually get that lovely warm feeling inside until around December 20th, when I start to get really excited. But today I managed to have the memories just drop in out of nowhere.
I was browsing around Google images looking for a good wallpaper that had some blue in it. I came across a neat little wallpaper with a snowy mountain. Then it hit me, I searched on images for a snowy wallpaper. I found this.
As soon as I saw it the nostalgia just poured in.
I thought of the previous winters I've had, the snow would go up to 2-3 feet at times. It was brutally cold out, we couldn't see far because of the falling snow and when it stopped, the whole world was just silent. Snow muffles every single sound that you hear. It creates it's own insulation. When you think of that, when you can't hear anything despite being in a massive forest filled with various animals, you know it's Christmas. You know you'll be heading to relatives houses, you know you'll be having some tasty turkey dinner. You know that your parents will be filming you when you open some of those perfectly wrapped gifts under the tree. You know you'll be hanging up lights on your house, you'll be decorating the Christmas tree. You know you'll go tobogganing with your friends, and you know you'll walk home with your nose dripping and your snowpants soaked in snow, and you'll come home to some fresh, warm hot chocolate.
But most of all, you know you'll be writing your goddamn Christmas list and posting it on this thread right here! How joyful.
Some of you have never actually experienced snow, some of you may have seen it once or twice. Up here in Canadia it snows every winter. We've grown fond of it, and we love it to pieces.
Discuss many things: Firstly your wishlist, fond memories of winter and Christmas itself, and how forgetin' excited you are, just like every year.
I don't care if it's too early to post this thread. I love Christmas. :)
