Holiday Thursday 13

Well, it's Thursday and that means it's time for you to know 13 things about me......today I want to do it Holiday style....

13 Things I love about Christmas!!!!!!


1. My Christmas Tree....I love to turn it on first thing in the morning. I love looking at it while I read the paper.

2. Shopping...I love to shop for other people....it's a great feeling buying for others.

3. Cooking...it feels great having people over to eat...and cooking certain special meals just for them. I meal plan for these things a month in advance.

4. My children's faces on Christmas Day....the presents in the living room are everywhere...they just are so overwhelmed with excitement..this year lil Miller will get to have this wonderful feeling of being a child.

5. Programs at church are always great...it brings people a little closer and listening to the Christmas story is like a breath of fresh air.

6. Christmas parties are so fun...seeing people you haven't seen in awhile and getting a chance to hear how they are doing....eating great food and dancing....we love to do this.

7. Driving around looking at Christmas lights....this is tradition in our family.

8. I enjoy wrapping presents in front of the Christmas Tree while drinking Hot Chocolate this is something I love to do while listening to Christmas music

9. Of course it wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't go to the mall on Christmas Eve and watch all the crazy people while drinking my Starbucks capp....now would it?

10. Sending Christmas cards is a huge favorite for me.....I send around 70...yes I'm nuts. And yes the post office hates me. I wait until 12/19 to mail them.

11. I love walking into my mom's house on Christmas Eve....the house always smells so good.

12. Coffee always tastes and smells better on Christmas morning and Scott and I always have special creamer just for Christmas.

13. And of course it's Jesus Christ's birthday...and this I'm eternally grateful for.......


I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas....I will post on Miller tomorrow afternoon. His surgery is 6am...eastern time....thank you all for your prayers and great friendship...I'm thankful and blessed for you all....
