It's the most wonderful time of the year, With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you be of good cheer, It's the most wonderful time of the year, It's the hap-happiest season of all, With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings, When friends come to call, It's the hap-happiest season of all, There'll be parties for hosting, Marshmallows for toasting, And caroling out in the snow, There'll be scary ghost stories, And tales of the glories of, Christmases long, long ago
That's the sound of Christmas cheer all around the world. The lyrics to It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: by Andy Williams. And it’s true, Christmas is absolutely 100% the best! And I’m sorry but if you think otherwise you are wrong. I mean come on how could anyone not like christmas? I mean there are about a million reasons that Christmas is the best. And one is literally the song!
Okay I honestly don’t know how anyone could not like christmas but if you don’t then here are some reasons why. Firstly, as Alana Armstrong says “It is just so happy everywhere. The Christmas spirit is amazing!” Christmas brings joy into the world making everyone happy. It also means quality time with those you love, like friends and family. Christmas time also reminds us of what is most important in life, teaches us to believe in what we cannot see (santa) and sends a note of optimism, joy and kindness in our hearts. And everyone genuinely seems to be happier during Christmas.
Most people are off work, in good moods, and just generally feeling the love. We say Merry Christmas to people we've never spoken to before, we gather together to watch lights being switched on, we send cards to neighbors we barely see. We're together like at no other time of year. As Julia Schliesser states “I like Christmas because it is the time of year that actually brings people together, and it is a time to feel joy!”
Do you understand now? Christmas is the best! It’s a time you are with your loved ones, and you are happy. Everybody is enjoying themselves and the mood is set with Christmas music. Now, have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
