IT'S DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay... those who know me, I know I am a FREAK for the winter months... especially DECEMBER!
It might have something to do with the fact that I am a December baby and Christmas happens.
That's totally it.
But also, even through the Facebook stories of Black Friday Chaos, pushy mall walkers, poor parking jobs & even angry customers... there's ALWAYS something great that I see during these months.
I was in the mall yesterday, looking for stocking stuffers because we chose to do a smaller Christmas this year so we can all save our pennies for Florida.
I did see some of the above, I did even get a tiny bit frustrated at people who just cut in front of you.
What I also saw, was little kids dressed up to take a photo with Santa, Mom's & Dad's looking for the ultimate gifts to give their kids, and cheerful staff in the mall helping people find their way through the madness of Sunday at South Gate.

Blah Blah Blah, Lauren! Christmas is a time for giving, Yay happiness and cheer!
I get it... stop reading now if you want... but I just wanted to explain something.

If you are looking for negatives... you'll find them.
If you create the situation in a negative space... it'll be negative.

I hear people complaining all the time that Christmas has become all about the gifts & the money.
But there are still so many people out there, trying for good.

Be that person! Just try it out.
Instead of getting frustrated at traffic or how bad our Alberta winters are... try looking at how beautiful the trees are with hore frost.

This is why I love December. Not because I get birthday presents & Christmas presents... But because I feel a TON of love during this month.
& That's my favorite.
Love.
