It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

As Christmas approaches ever closer I find myself getting ants in my pants and shirt and anywhere else ants can hide. Here's a list of my favorite things about Christmas time:

1. Watching my Pandora stations suddenly begin playing Christmas music. (I created the first one in early October!! Now I have five or six!)

2. Hearing one of my favorite Christmas songs come on ANY radio station and getting the willies, especially when I'm working on Christmas secrets;)

3. Talking to Britta and Quinci about what they want from Santa.

4. Counting the days left till the big day.

5. Thanksgiving day!! I can't wait for the food, I'm eating like a normal person!! ha ha

6. The day after Thanksgiving, going to see Santa come to the University Mall (this is one of my favorite days of the year)!

7. Setting up the Christmas tree and looking at all the ornaments we've collected over the years.

8. Decorating the house.

9. Unwrapping the advent calender...things...and trying to get the typewriter. Don't ask me why but that's the most coveted of all the doo-hickys ha ha

10. Seeing all the festive foods and...smelling them! ha ha

11. Watching Christmas movies; The Santa Clause, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, Elf and Holiday Inn (thank you Welch family!) just to name a few!

12. Christmas Eve, anything we do!

13. Never, ever, sleeping on Christmas Eve night, sorry little story, last year my parents wanted me to sleep so bad that they gave me a whole Unisom to try to help. The plan backfired miserably! I ended up wired all night long! Thank you mom and dad ;)

14. And of course Christmas day, just being together!

Well there's a list of a few of my favorite things about Christmas. I had to cut the list down from 9,678,564,364 but you get the idea. Happy Holidays!
