Ninety-One Days Of Summer: DAY ONE

Today is the first day of my favourite season.  Yes, I could go on about how I LOVE the other three seasons and all the pros and cons, but summer contains some of the most important occasions of the year, and that's why I love it most (also because of the sunny days and we all know how much I love the sun).

1. Jesus' birthday is in summer.

Hemispherically, I'm speaking of summer in the south of course.

2.  My birthday is in summer.

My love language is gifts.  This simply means, I feel especially loved if I receive a gift that suits me perfectly.  It tells me that the giver loves me enough to find out who the real me is, and pick a gift that I would love.  I love my birthday, because apart from Christmas, it's usual a day when I feel well loved.  Summertime also means that on my birthdays I get to have pool parties, water fights, zooper dopers (popsicles), and beach fun.  

3. Christmas is in summer.

I'm not talking specifically about Jesus' birthday, but the commercial version of Christmas.  Where carols play for a month in the shops (and no one can begrudge me for playing them very loud in the car), where departments stores have miniature idealised snow covered towns with trains running through them, and Christmas spirit (decorating, baking, singing, fairy lights) is at it's peak.  

4. New Years is in summer.

I'm not so much into the big new years party thing (except for last year - last year I was at the biggest New Years party in the world).  But no matter what I do on New Years Eve, New Years Day always brings an expectation of change, and improvement.  It's a chance to start over.

5. Our Family Christmas party is in summer.
When I get to catch up with the people I love most - my cousins, aunts, uncles, and my Nana and Mate (Grandpa).

6.  School vacation is in summer.

Do I need to explain how excited I am that there will be no study, assignments and exams for summer?? 

But the reason I am so looking forward to the next ninety days is that I didn't get summer last summer.  I was in North America for three months. Brr.
