Since I did a Thanksgiving Top 10, I figured I’d do the Top 10 things I like about Christmas.
- Nana’s biscuits and gravy. I can’t wait.
- Home Alone. Gotta see it every year. Now I watch it with the teens.
- Music. I play my trumpet more. My dad pulls out the guitar. People in my family sing or play piano or whatever. Music and Christmas go hand-in-hand.
- Decorating makes me feel all domesticated.
- Snow sledding. I don’t really get to do it anymore, but snow sledding with the cousins is some of my favorite times
- It’s practically the only time of the year when I actually want to play some kind of board game. Trivial Pursuit is my families game of choice.
- IÂ enjoy the family time and seeing friends I don’t get to see much. I get to just sit around and talk and do nothing. It’s great.
- People seem happier at Christmas.
- I enjoy shopping for other people, even though I don’t do a lot of it.
- Peppermint Mocha.
- Sweaters.
- Christmas lights. You know, like Candy Cane Lane and things like that.
- Homemade candy.
- The Real Christmas Story–Luke 2 (I read that to the teens every year now too).
- I enjoy the Christmas part of my job…making sure all the kids have toys. That’s fun.
- Playing Santa for my mom.
- Reminding my dad how my brother and I got a racetrack set every Christmas from Santa, but never asked for one. Hmmmm.
- The hope that it just might snow.
- The yearly drive around the entire state of Kentucky to see everyone.
- Did I mention the biscuits and gravy? Oh yeah and macaroni and tomato juice, since it’s the only time of the year I get homemade tomato juice. And Pot Roast.
