Being in New York with my family and close friends is fulfilling my soul with Christmas cheer. Despite the beauty of enjoying outdoor activities year-round in Florida, I craved a cool breeze and sweaters. I was turning down the AC in my apartment quite low in the last few weeks to bundle up with blankets, sweatshirts, and a hot cup of tea. Of course, in NY, there is currently a warm front that keeps temperatures from 40-60, and we may even reach a high of 70 for Christmas Day! It's still better than being blasted with humidity every morning, and I'm feeling more in the Christmas spirit.
As you may already know, I have inherited my travel bug from my family--especially my mother. With no hesitation, at 6 months, my parents took me on my first plane ride to St. Maarten. My family is passionate about worldly experiences and visiting new places. Actually, my mom got her travel agent license simply so we can get discounts when traveling. I hope she pursues a career in the area because she's simply a genius when it comes to travel planning. She's guided me with airlines, hotels, and traveling smart over the years, and I will continue learning from her.
Last year, we initiated a travel-themed Christmas tree, highlighting the different states and countries we have visited. We began collecting ornaments from previous destinations, purchasing new ones as we continued traveling, and creating our own wanderlust-inspired pieces. Instead of an angel atop the tree, my mother and I created a "Joy to the World" globe. I marvel at our hanging passports, filled with our previous destinations, and look forward to expanding our tree. There are plenty of branches left to fill with more ornaments and destinations...
