Favorite Thing about This Time of Year

What's your favorite thing about this time of year?

Even though I'm starting this thread during the holidays, it can apply to whatever time of year in which someone posts to it. In early April, I might post "The Masters!"

But for now…

Peppermint ice cream.

I will name two favorite things about this time of year. 

1) The weather has cooled off down here, and that means I can play more golf. 

2) The Jaguars' season is coming to an end, so my annual suffering is almost over.

My two brothers that live away usually come back to town for Christmas. One is in Massachusetts and the other is in Chicago, so we don't seem much of them through the year.

Cliche I know, but seeing family that I don't normally see.  One thing unique to Christmas time that I really enjoy is Egg nog

The Holiday cheer, and the anticipated smiles of happiness. 

That, and it's not 118*F outside.

Yup! The cool movies come out.  Can't wait to see Rogue One 

For me around the late year holiday season it is that we are finished at work with budget season. Lots of execs take time off so office is not as hectic. I always take the week between Christmas and New Years off and spend it with my kids, so good bonding time.

The food: I love to cook for Christmas and of course make my favorite soup in the world (Posole/Pozole) and all the fun stuff like carne adovada and cheese enchiladas with a pot of slow cooked pinto beans around New Years.

People in general are nicer  

Golf wise here in Florida the fairways dry out so that when I duff it my ball usually still goes forward a bit.

My company normally closes the last week of the year. So I'm looking forward to a few days off from the grind.

Around this time in NY....  It has a certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes the city more electric and alive than any other time of the year.

I love visiting NY anywhere from late November to New Year's day.  Something in the air around this time of the year makes the city more alive than usual.

    • Yeah I know. It sucks to have an idea then have thorough explanations to why one disagrees with it. It’s much more fun to just have people agree and say, ‘ Great Scott my boy! You’ve really uncovered something here!’ 😀
    • Wow it's really awesome to see how many courses you all have played. I am jealous! I've only played 7 courses.
    • Broke my record today and it felt great. Front nine I was 8 over, then on back nine I was only 4 over until the 18th hole. I think I let it get to my head as it was an easy par 3 and I ended up sending the ball into the lake and got my first triple bogey of the day haha. Typical. Nonetheless I can't complain, mostly pars and bogeys all day. Ended with an 83. 
    • Or just check Craigslist for someone selling found balls. There's your best budget.
    • I responded exactly as you did: I said “it simply is” in response but I’m the one who is “always right?” And I’ve engaged and humored you through several posts now. At the end of the day I think what you’re saying has little value. I disagree with your opinion on this. But you want to feel personally attacked, I guess, so have at it. We can all read. 😀
