It is without contest my most favorite time of the year.
There is something magical that happens around Christmas. The lights on everything makes the whole city beautiful. The decorations in the house are a constant reminder of the impending glorious day. The parties where you grow closer to the ones you love. The delicious food that seems to be in endless supply. The traditions that bring families closer together. The movies and music that are only on at this time. Even people become nicer, laugh more, are more giving and compassionate.
There truly is a spirit of Christmas that only happens during this season that brings joy to peoples hearts.
My family, (mom), started a new tradition this year. A holiday Murder Mystery Party! It was such a blast and everyone really got into the game, even wearing costumes from the era, 1950's, and playing their parts to a "T". We had so much fun stepping outside of the norm and pretending to be someone else for a night. I cant wait to do it again next year.
