The year 2012 is just about to end in a couple of weeks and I have to say that December is one of my favourite months of the whole year. There are a lot of reasons:
Firstly: The atmosphere
Cities are being adorned with Christmas decoration in the most beautiful ways. Lights shine everywhere and that gives you a quite magical feeling.
Secondly: Coming together
As a result of this feeling people tend to go out more often in order to spend a nice time with some friends. Just yesterday one of my close friends invited us over to her house. She prepared cookies and bread with self-made spread. It was lovely. The whole dining table was full of sweets.
And btw: We ended up in the Office Pub after a half-hour debate in the cold (We couldn't decide where to go, everybody wanted to go somewhere else. The pub was a reasonable compromise :-D) Anyway, it was pretty amusing. We drank tea and listend to the English-speaking folks. What a nice turning-point of a Christmas evening :-D
Thirdly: The weather
I personally love snow. It's pretty nice when you're at home and look out of the window while the snow is falling. In a way, it calms a person. However, I'm not very into skiing or any other winter sport...or sport generally :-P
and lastly: The food
Cinnamon, cookies, oranges, gingerbread, and so on. Especially at Christmas markets I can't resist temptation and not eat a waffle :-)
