Growing up, I was a summer girl all the way. The longer I could be outside playing, the better! Except for the month of December...I prayed each year that December would be cold, even snowy, so it would really capture the Christmas spirit. I actually remember many, many Christmas seasons that were so warm, it really bummed me out. This is one of those seasons for sure.
