Dear December,

Thank you! The month of my birth—the month that God pre-ordained that I’d enter the earth. 

Thank you Dear December for allowing me to occupy space and time on your calendar—made all the more an honor because it’s the month I celebrate the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ.

            It’s safe to say you are my favorite month of the year. A month that from childhood through now has provided me with some of the happier, more pleasant, joy and family-filled times of my life. 

            Dear December, I am eternally grateful to see you come around again because that means I’ve been blessed to get another year older—a privilege that I don’t take for granted or assume that I will get again. So, I look to you for the inspiration that you tend to bring. You are the month that seemingly brings with it an anticipation, hope and joy that revives, refreshes, restores, and redeems my soul despite what or how the year has been. And for that, I am grateful.

            Dear December your energy reverberates throughout the world year after year. Pine trees are decorated beautifully in and outside—homes draped with twinkling lights—loved ones attend to gifting and catering to each other—because you harness an energy that causes love to trump conflicts, chaos, struggles, and differences. 

            Dear December you are such a unique, and potent month—you possess a mysterious power that none of the other eleven have. You compile all of the preceding month’s experiences, joy, sadness’s, successes, trials, and triumphs, and you produce a new-found sense of hope for January to begin with.

            Dear December—thank you! Thank you for being light where it would otherwise remain dark. Thank you for invoking life even when death is a reality—thank you for producing and perpetuating love where it could/would otherwise be lingering contention, grief, and despair—thank you Dear December because no matter how erratic a year can often be—you continue to show up crowned in the Tanzanite, Topaz, and Turquoise gemstones that represent you beautifully.

 Yours truly ✨🌟
