What does December mean to you?

Where I (usually) live, the weather gets very frigid and cold, full of snow and wind. However, there is almost a sense of quiet and peace that comes with it. My heart fills with warmth and happiness, especially since this is the time of year that not only do I spend with my family, but I get to think about them even more when I buy presents. It's not the physical present-buying that I'm most excited about, it's the extra thought and time I put into the buying and/or creating a gift as a gesture of 'hey, I thought of you today'.

It's also a time of reflection of the year - of my accomplishments and of my beliefs. A time when I think of love, family, and that little baby Jesus.

How about you? What does December mean to you?

December for me is a time that's about family. It's about pretty lights and decorations, wonderful movies and music and a Savior's birth. Too many times it's about presents and hustle and bustle. That's not what it should be about though!

I love this and I agree! For me, December is also a time for baking yummy, yummy treats/desserts with my hubby, our families, and to share with our loved ones. When I bake for and with others, time sort of slows down and it fills me with peace.

In some ways, December is a sad time for me, as it contains the birthdays of too many people I loved who aren't around anymore. But I also like it, especially when there's snow, and, of course, Christmas, though it's over-commercialised and I hate it when shops play Christmas music from October! I love the music though, everything from Bach's Christmas Oratorio to 'Fairy Tale of New York'.

December means a time for family to me, even though we aren't christians we do celebrate christmas as a time for family and friends.

For me December is the time to prepare and usher in the new year with lots of thanks to God for making me able to take that u turn in my life.

Resting as the company I work for close. Heat as I live in the southern hemisphere. The end of one year and the beginning of (hopefully) a better new year

December means extremely cold weather, winter break, and spending time with my family. A while ago, it meant receiving gifts; now, it means buying gifts for other people.
