Reasons Why You Must Love December
Family Reunions
If you never get to see your family all year round, your chances of seeing them in December are high. That’s because the end of the year is a holiday for everyone, everywhere. What’s not to love about that?
December is A Time To Share
The holiday season is sharing season. We’re sharing love, sharing food, sharing our money, sharing clothes. Even most amazing, we’re sharing our time and happiness. You will agree that this world needs all the love it can get, especially now.
The Presents
Talking about sharing, gifts are something people get a lot of in December. There’s something in the air that makes everyone quite charitable. Add to that the story of Santa Claus who always comes bearing gifts.Then there’s also the story of the birth of Jesus, who was a gift himself.
