Is it the smells that fill the air? The gingerbread, pies and ham. The constant food laid out for us to nibble on.
Is it the presents laid around the tree? Waiting for us to gift each other. Wrapped in the shiniest paper and string.
Is it the people we love? Laughing together as we eat, open gifts, spend Christmas together.
Is it getting up in the middle of the night, just to go to church? Is it listening to those carols being sung? The one's we've heard our whole lives.
Is it the chance to dress up prettily? Do our makeup and hair. Take a few extra minutes for the photos.
Or is it all this and more? So much more. That feeling no one can explain. It surrounds us. Engulfs us. Filling us with shivers of delight and giggles. That once a year, Christmas feeling.
