It was a peaceful Saturday morning in December, the kind of day that felt like a gift in itself. The sky outside was a moody gray, the perfect backdrop for a cozy day indoors on the weekend, especially in a holiday season like this. The usual neighborhood bustle—the hum of cars, the sound of kids playing, or the murmur of chores—was notably absent. It felt like everyone was wrapped in the same blanket of tranquility that cradled me. ‘Such a perfect moment!’ I told myself. Everything seemed to be in harmony with nature.
I settled into my favorite spot on the couch, next to the window where a gentle breeze sneaked through the slightly open pane. A steaming mug of hot cocoa rested in my hands, the rich scent mingling with the crispness of the air. On my laptop, the latest episode of my favorite anime Detective Conan waited for me. But before I hit play, another suggestion caught my eye: a Christmas movie. The cheerful red-and-green thumbnail promised warmth and joy. ‘Hmmm, why not?’ I thought, letting my curiosity lead the way. Besides, a Christmas movie seemed to be a perfect company for my hot cocoa and a weather like this.
