The holiday season has always felt like a magical time to
me. Maybe it’s because I’ve watched one (or 20) too many cheesy Christmas love
stories on Hallmark, but I just love the sense of excitement and hopefulness
that surrounds this time of the year. Seeing holiday lights on the houses and
giant Christmas trees set up in the mall, people bundled up in scarfs and hats
and powdery snow falling at night… Okay, so this description is about 1000
times more Hallmark movie than Iowa reality (especially since it hasn't snowed in weeks here!), but you get my point, right? The
holiday season is beautiful.
