Why do I like Christmas as a blind person by student Lizzy

Being blind can be very hard, you miss out on some beautiful things, like the setting sun over a beach or a wonderful winter landscape with shining icicles that look like crystals glinting in the sun, but being blind at Christmas can have its good side too.

To start I love the smells, the evergreen tree in the house, the smell of spices, like ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, the crisp winter air and the warm smell of logs on the fire.

Christmas is made to be felt in more ways then one, not just by the visual aspect of the tree and all its beauty or the fact that the ground is blanketed in a fresh layer of snow.

No, the feeling of Christmas is not just that, but it is smell, touch, taste and sound. But most of all it is the spirit in your heart that you feel, with your family near, and when the things that you hold dear are close to your heart. There is no way I will ever look at Christmas and say that I do not like it.
