There once was a girl named Zoey who loved Christmas the most for so many reasons!

    Some of her favorite memories of Christmas included a big snow. She enjoyed the cooler, crisp air, building snowmen, making snow angels, and of course an exciting snowball battle with her friends! 

    Often she would relax after with a warm cup of hot cocoa and marshmallows. She would sip and enjoy as she watched the pristine, white snow fall delicately to the ground.

And of course she enjoyed fresh Christmas cookies, presents and time with family. 

   After all, it's the only time she got to see her smelly great-grandfather who was 88 years old, liked to tell silly stories about physics (whatever that is) and pretend to find quarters behind her ears. 

    Zoey adored the atmosphere. It was the twinkling lights in neighborhoods and towns, the festive music in stores and on the radio. The excited children anxious to tell Santa Claus their wants for the season, the giving spirit in the air and a feeling of love and warmth that seemed to spread with each stranger's friendly "Merry Christmas!".

But most of all... it was the magic and wonder of the season.
