Hello, World!!
We're two days from Christmas, and so obviously, magic is in the air, everyone is feeling cheerful, couples are getting ready to listen to Ariana Grande's 'Christmas and Chill', basic girls everywhere are taking endless pictures in oversized sweaters with coffee mugs to post on Tumblr, Superwoman has uploaded three Christmas videos so far, AND I AM WRITING A BLOG POST!
Well, as I may have mentioned in, like, every post so far, I have moved cities. In the place I used to live in earlier, we always had the best winter ever. There was never any snow, of course, but there was just enough chilly air to give you a great Christmas vibe. Sitting outside on a chilly winter morning with a cup of chocolate milk in my hand was something Person and I did almost every time we had a sleepover!
When I lived there, I always liked summer better. I thought winter was annoying, you know, having to wake up early in the morning and go to school wrapped up in four layers of clothing and shivering as you walked groggily through blankets of fog. I hated having to constantly clothe myself in more than two layers, I felt that I 'looked like an Eskimo'. I also did not have the luxury of swimming when I wanted to, as the pool was closed due to the cold.
So when I was told I was moving to a city closer to the sea, I was motivated by the fact that I could swim all year and look pretty all year because I would never have to wear more than two layers of clothing. But now that Christmas is around the corner, I never expected to be missing winter.
For now, I feel like Ariana Grande in 'Winter Things'.
It ain't even cold outside, not where I'm from
Feeling like it's mid-July under the sun
My jacket don't get no love, no hats and no gloves, not even a chance to rain
It is literally 35 degrees (celsius) over here, and I sort of miss my hot chocolate every morning and snuggling under my mother's duvet that was so thick it looked about 2 feet above you when you were under it. I miss turning on the oil heater and snuggling under my blanket with a book. I miss buying a new pair of fuzzy slipper socks every year, and warming my hands over the gas stove when they got too cold.
I have a Christmas playlist this year, for the first time ever. But what's the point, when it speaks of cold and snow, and you're living in a place where the sun is shining brightly and you can parade about your house in shorts? Is it just me, or is there a sort of Christmas vibe you get that only comes with the cold? There's a sort of excitement like you can literally HEAR the jingle bells in your head when you wake up on Christmas morning and run to the tree to look at your presents. I don't know, is this just me?
Now that it's warm here, I doubt I'll even feel that vibe, and Christmas really is missing without it. I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but I really do miss my winter.

P.S: If you do not celebrate Christmas, I perfectly understand your beliefs and respect them. Please do not take this to heart and fill the comments section with anger about how we aren't Christians and shouldn't 'do' Christmas.
