thursday's top ten

thursday's top ten reasons why i love christmas...

10. getting presents...who doesn't love getting presents?!?!

  9. shopping...i love to shop and this is a wonderful excuse to fuel my retail therapy!

  8. spending time with my family...now this time has to be monitored or someone (namely me) could go crazy from all the togetherness!

  7. baking, cooking and making all kinds of goodies...i love that time with my kids making all those delish things that we only get once a year..

  6. giving gifts...i love seeing people open the presents i have spent time shopping for...cause i search out that perfect gift and seeing them open it is priceless in my book!

  5. time off from work...i enjoy those 2 weeks where we can be lazy and just hang out....
  4. breakfast with my girlfriends from high school...boy i love those girls...it is so funny that when we see each other we just pick right up where we were, like it hasn't been months or a year since we have seen each other...these girls are my sisters, love, love, love, love them!

  3. riding around looking at christmas lights...our family has a tradition that we started when bluedotteen was little...we all put on our pj's, pile in the car, stop by starbucks and head off to drive the neighborhood looking at christmas lights...what a fun night!

  2. seeing and experiencing christmas through my children's eyes....from the magic elf visits and mischievousness, the shopping, christmas baking, decorating, seeing christmas lights...it is all so innocent and magical.  i cherish these memories each year of my babies!

  1. celebrating the birth of jesus christ...what an awesome gift he was to save us from our sins.
