December December !

Finally December is here! My favorite month of the year. Yes yes it is me birth month and I love winter so I am partial...but December is my favorite month.
I subconsciously await for the anniversary of that fateful day and I wish every year that would be extra special to me. Well to be very honest even if nothing exciting happens on that day I would still eager wait for that day.
Ahh December. Everything about December is so ....well different. There is a ubiquitous feeling of completion (the ending of a year), and our personal memories only add to the drama of it all.
From our schooldays we associate December as the holiday month, picnic month, wear all your favorite sweaters month.
I, being the winter lover that I am, have the most loveliest December memories. My memories are that of slow, pleasant days, lots of tea, lots of winter clothes, shivering when the mercury drop by one half of a degree! But most of all December is the time when I spend my days under a cozy blanket reading and reading my favorite books. My days mingle with my nights, and one story melts into another.
The smoky air around me, the fog outside my window and the lives and loves of the book characters all help make my surrounding serenely surreal.
December is also the time of remembering the things of the past year, rejoice the good times and look forward to a new beginning. It's all good.
The birthstones for December are: Zircon, Blue Topaz, Turquoise, Tanzanite..etc...nothing half as exotic as Diamon (April) or Emerald (May).
Anyway still going strong with my quizzing things... so here's an interesting one that I have been thinking about for a while now.

Something just right for the mood...
Winter
Winter

Independent. Passionate. Strong-willed. Shy. Intelligent. Tranquil. Icy.
