Christmas Is

Christmas is the next holiday after thanksgiving
It's when the turkey festivities are over
and the following day you decorate the exterior of your house in lights

Christmas is when you switch your tea to egg nog
It's when you switch your vanilla coffee creamers to peppermint flavor
and your favorite movies turn into Christmas classics

Christmas is the time where everyone gathers
It's when your relatives come into town that you haven't seen in months
and your heart fills with holiday cheer

Christmas is a time for giving
It's when you put others before yourself
and you don't second guess why you're doing it

Christmas is a time for love
It's when your heart grows ten times it's actual size
and then you realize why it's your favorite holiday
