i'm kinda muted on christmas if i'm honest. it's not that i don't enjoy it. mulled wine, jumpers, cheese, port, people, reality, rawness of the pause. you said it best with the atmosphere, everyone is in high spirits. i also find it an incredibly volatile period of time for certain people too, things that have been building in the year coming to a head, you know?
love that you put (unexpected) kisses, that's cute. for me, it's the new year end that is the best, the first day of the year, jan 1st, means that it's 16 days to my birthday, feels like i've a mission to do before i mark that next birthday. i absolutely love the 1st day of the year, it's like the day to really be like super aware and active, it must be the cusp of my starsign or something, i'm always full of energy and positivity! :)
