This week I’m going to write about my favorite Christmas things…or the 13 things I love most about the Christmas holiday. Wish me luck.
1. Christmas Trees. I love coming home to the smell of fresh Christmas trees in the house. It always puts me in a good mood.
2. Nsync’s Happy Holidays Album. Yeah, I said it, I hecka love this album! It’s the best and I always look forward to listening to it the day after Thanksgiving and since the album came out, without fail we listen to the entire album (it’s one of those albums that I can listen to from beginning to end) and the kids make their Christmas list and we get ready for Christmas. My favorite song changes every year too, I haven’t chosen one for this year but I will…soon.
3. Christmas Ham. Man, I so look forward to the Christmas ham that my sister makes, the glaze she makes for the ham is what totally makes the entire ham so much gooey fun to eat…LOVE IT!
4. Christmas Shopping. You always get good prices on things (well if you don’t wait until the very last minute and there’s nothing left) like for Kainoa’s present, I got him a rockin’ new scooter that’s usually $50 for only $20…bargain? Pssttt, YEAH!
5. Christmas Cookies. When I was little, my Aunt and us kids used to make sugar cookies and decorate them however we wanted…it was always so much fun and we used to get flour EVERYWHERE and it was okay! haha.
6. Christmas Decorations. Our house looks great! We have mini Christmas trees lining our walk way to the front door, our Christmas lights are up and the kids even decorated with the windows and it looks like a winter wonderland and I just love it!
7. Christmas Carols. Our choir at Church is singing in our Stake’s Christmas Carol thingy they’ve got going on and when we first started practicing, I swear we sucked big donkey balls but now? Yeah, we’re actually pretty good and I’m actually pretty excited to be singing our Christmas songs…we rock!
8. Christmas Presents. In my family, as soon as you turn 18, you usually stop getting presents and it doesn’t bother me because the biggest joys I get during Christmas is watching the kids tear into their presents and the smiles, the squeals of joy and just their happiness makes all the fighting in the aisles for that very toy, the arguing with the workers for the right price totally worth it. I love watching Brenna all excited about her gifts!
9. Christmas Parties. Alright, seriously?? Our Christmas parties are always so cool and so much fun, I love having people over and drinking hot chocolate and apple cider, while we listen to Christmas music and laugh the whole night away, it’s the best, I love it!
10. Christmas gift hiding. Getting the gifts inside the house without the kids seeing always cracks me the heck up. We got caught so many times last year and me and my sister always laugh about it becuase we tried to hide all the toys but Chase saw them anyway and trying to convince him that these toys weren’t for him that we were just holding them for Santa cracks me up every time I think about it because he totally believed us until Christmas morning.
11. Christmas Program. The Christmas program that our kids put on ALWAYS makes me cry. You can see the work that they put into it and watching the kids recite their parts always makes me all teary eyed because they’re so frickin’ cute and then when they start singing the Christmas songs, I love it!
12. The True Meaning of Christmas. It’s always good to remember the real meaning of Christmas and during this time, I always ponder the gift of life and the blessings I have in my life and it always makes me smile because, I really and truly am blessed.
13. Christmas Cards! I really suck about getting these out but I love getting them, they’re always so cool and I love the Christmas cards that come with a letter from the family, letting us know what they’ve been up to this year and all that, those are always so cool…this year, Im going to try my hardest to get some cards sent out from me and Brenna. Seriously.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
