I live where there are 4 seasons including winter and with the unseasonably warm and often rainy weather this year, it simply doesn’t feel like Christmastime. We have several ski resorts nearby so there’s at least enough cold weather for snow making, but when you’re wearing short sleeves in December or only need a light jacket this time of year it’s odd.
I’m not one that enjoys super cold weather, but it makes things seem off at least for me when we don’t have it. It is nice, though, to see all the Christmas lights and decorations out and about this time of year. It is not fun, though, with all the bombardment of sales emails and catalogs which seem to have quadrupled in volume this year at least for me.
There are a multitude of drive through Christmas light viewings to experience in my area. I usually just stick to what’s closest. I like to see the lights!
I often wonder, though, why don’t we put up something like these lights all year long? Would they still be as enjoyable?
Do you write the same kinds of works or do you write a variety of works? I’m in the variety category having written poetry, non-fiction, fiction, business articles, reviews, etc. I simply enjoy the art of writing and I do not want to write the same thing all the time because to me then it becomes too much like a job you don’t like. If I was a painter I doubt I’d paint in the same styles all the time. I actually do paint but I don’t try to show or sell anything - it’s not all that good,lol. I also like to play my guitar and I tend to practice the same songs, but sometimes I write my own and they’re different from other people’s songs I play.
Lights, variety, seasons, art can offer you peace of mind. You have to choose what works for you!
