Melanie DeCastro The best time if year is NOW! There is absolutely no time of year more magical, more electrifying, more emotionally charged than this season. The winter season isn’t just about being cozy and warm—it’s a full-blown celebration of love, family, and every cheesy, sparkly, over-the-top tradition that makes life worth living. My favorite tradition is hosting a spectacular Christmas party filled with gifts and Colombian dishes!
This is the time when the world collectively decides to pause—yes, the universe aligns, shops close, and suddenly, everyone remembers the importance of connection. Something I feel like we should do more often, because who doesn’t love a break from reality? It is literally why it is the best time of year; everyone collectively decides to chill. It’s like society whispers, “Go ahead, celebrate! Be with your loved ones, eat that extra tamal, and cry happy tears under twinkling lights!”
For me, this season is a romantic, dramatic whirlwind. Christmas and New Year’s? Por favor! It’s the ultimate double feature: first, you toast to everything you’ve conquered, and then, with the flourish of a telenovela heroine, you vow to rise like a phoenix into the “new year, new me” glow-up. The best time of year is a time where you can be your best self and love yourself to your fullest capacity.
Personally, I dive into this time of year headfirst, heart bursting with gratitude, ambition, and a little extra drama. My playlist is full of nostalgic carols, my soul is on fire, and my planner? Oh, it’s locked in with all the dreams I refuse to let slip away. Every year, this season reminds me why I love so fiercely and work so passionately.
Looking forward to it? Always. Living for it? Definitely. Winter isn’t just a season—it’s my season
