Christmas all day, every day for 365 days.
SYRACUSE, N.Y.(NCC News) — Christmas comes once a year to bring every non-grinch hearted spirit all the love and cheer. Now what happens if you bottle it all up the happiness of the holiday and open it every day of the year?
That would give you the life Abbie Kludt lives. When you are around her, you can’t help but notice there is something special behind her smile and when diving deeper into it, the true meaning was unveiled.
From the Mariah Carry alarm clock she wakes up to, her Christmas watch, and every app designed around the holiday, Kludt screams Christmas from head to toe.
Now it is easy to see the commercial appeal of Christmas written all over Kludt, but it is the spirit of the holiday that shines through her personality and heart.
“I think my love language is gift giving, so I think a designated day to show people why you care about them is important and how much you pay attention to the little things and you get to kinda express that reciprocated joy too much,” said Kludt.
There have been years when Kludt can tell that someone in her family has not received what they wanted for Christmas and she immediately starts preparing the gift they wanted for next Christmas, months and months in advance. For this year, she started collecting her father maple syrups from different places starting last January and is now up to fourteen different kinds.
From her family to her friends it is easy to feel the joy about Kludt that people associate with the same feeling around the holiday. The next time you hear about someone who loves Christmas look beyond the way they dress or the movies they watch and surround yourself with the feeling they bring.
