Truly the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the music, the smells, sights, and sounds. I love spending time with family and eating delicious food. And I love how everyone becomes a better person during the season. There is something about celebrating the birth of our Savior that makes everyone a little more Christlike during the month of December.

People are focused outward more than they are the rest of the year, and everyone is happier because they're giving and looking to make another person happy. There's something magical about that.

I fell more in love with Cameron last Christmas than I had fallen for anyone before. Cameron knows how to Christmas. He still gets as excited as a child for the holiday, but it's because he can't wait for you to unwrap what he got for you. He can't wait to see how you respond to the thought and care he put into the gift. Last year he built be a bookshelf and gave me The Little Prince to put on it. When I went home that night I told my mom that if he asked me to marry him that day I would say yes in a heartbeat. I still said yes in a heartbeat a few months later.

This Christmas I've found myself falling even further in love with him. He has been so thoughtful and considerate (which I know isn't always easy to do with a pregnant woman), and he gets a sparkle in his eye every time he mentions the presents that are sitting under the tree, waiting to be unwrapped on Christmas morning. I know I'll continue to fall a little more in love with Cameron every day, but it's fun to see how that accelerates during December. Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year.
