Well, you're basically here, aren't you? I knew you'd show up. I'm not trying to be rude, but I have to admit - I've been dreading you a bit. Fall is so beautiful and colorful and there are pumpkin spiced things and crunchy leaves and it's still warm enough to hang out around a bonfire and eat s'mores late into the night.
But now you're showing up and things are getting cold and gray and I get afraid when it's icy because I fall a lot.
I'll try to be optimistic, though.
I'm betting too that this Winter Bucket List will make me joyful instead of sad-ful -- this winter I want to:
go ice skating. Watch Elf, Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life, The Santa Clause, The Holiday and Love Actually one million times each (dang, holiday movies rule!). Say yes to life and yes to staying in more (see previous point). Rock this random hat I bought at Target until it's cool because my head will be cold. Take a touristy pic in front of the tree at Rockefeller Center. Live by the motto that "'tis the season to make cookies". Create a long-overdue choreographed dance to this holiday classic. Go skiing WITHOUT having to be rescued by the patrol team. Wear ugly/awesome Christmas sweaters in a room with my friends who are also wearing ugly/awesome Christmas sweaters. Get some seasonal nail color goin' on. Write my friends some holiday love letters. Take over the sledding hill behind the WARF and act like I'm in high school (see pic above). Find Sufjan and convince him to do a sing-along with me. Say "Happy Christmas!" instead of "Merry Christmas!" because that is what Harry Potter does and so that is what is cool. ZOO LIGHTS! Enjoy snuggle time in my snuggie by the fire without shame. Lay on my back with my head under the Christmas tree (if you haven't done it - try. total magic). Be really grateful that Jesus was born. Celebrate my one year workiversary. Lay out my stockings with care. Watch my BFF get murrrried! Spend New Years with my besties in DC.
