Oh how I love Christmas time!!
Let me count the ways:
1. Shopping
2. Christmas Music (non-stop every day)
3. The hustle and bustle at the malls
4. The joy and excitement in the kids
5. Christmas Plays
6. Wrapping (sometimes)
7. The joy of giving
8. Celebrating our Savior's birthday
9. Family, Family, and More Family time
10. Good food
11. Baking (or enjoying other peoples baking)
12. Time off
13. Snow (only on christmas day, then i want it to go away)
14. Christmas Jammies
15. The trees and lights
16. Christmas Nouggat Candies
17. Candy Canes
18. The excitement of what a new year will bring!!
Ok, i think i've made my point!!!
Christmas Eve we will spend at my parents, my mom will be making us a wonderful dinner and we sit around and enjoy each others company, play games, and of course open presents!!
Christmas Morning everyone comes over and joins us for the kids to open their presents. We exchange gifts with Josh's side of the family that morning, and have a wonderful Christmas morning breakfast. We stay in comfy jammies all day, turn on the fireplace, and watch christmas movies and football all day long!!! Its such a great tradition and I love every minute of it!!! We dont let our family leave, or we try not to let htem leave because we want to spend all day with them. Later on in the evening we have ham and turkey and cheesy potatoes and all kinds of yummy food. The kids get to play with all their new stuff, and its just good fun. Last year we had a nerf gun fight, but that wont be happening this year, we asked Santa to skip the nerf guns this year!!! As fun as it was, those darts get everywhere, not to mention you have to watch every corner you turn, you never know when one is coming at your head. And most of the time its coming from Josh and not the kids.....hmmmm!!
Anyways, to all of you out there that read my blog when I post on it once every 8 months, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Enjoy yourselves and whatever you are doing this holiday, and I hope that Santa brings all that you need, and I wish everyone a wonderful new year! May 2011 bring lots of good things to everyone!!!
Love always,
Sara
