For the way frost clings to the windowpane as you watch the snow fall. For red velvet bows and golden tinsel adorning every doorway. For thin-sounding carols being piped through the mall as you finish your shopping. For the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg floating up through the house. For oddly-sized scraps of wrapping paper and glitter on your hands from decorative cards. For strings of lights hanging from the eaves of every house. For the most beautiful holiday of them all.
