My 20 Favorite Things About This Christmas

I have been so behind with my blogging that I decided to make it a little fun with my post about the Christmas holiday. So these are my favorite things that have happened this past month!


* Delivering gifts to a family with my ward in a big fire engine and Santa Claus
* Watching Elf!
* Getting stuck in the snow 4 times after a HUGE snow storm and finally going and getting chains for my tires.
* Drinking lots of eggnog and eating all the delicious holiday snacks ( I kind of slacked at going to the gym but hey, that's what the excuse of "It's Christmas!" is for! :)
* Picking out all the gifts for my family and friends (and trying not put myself too much in debt)
* Taking all my little girls to see Santa
* Going in the hot tub while it's snowy and cold outside
* Having my Mom, Lee, Bethany, and Doug come stay at my house! We had a houseful this Christmas but it was tons of fun!
* Listening to Christmas music at full blast all the time
* Playing "The Office" DVD game...I didn't win :(
* Sleeping in many times (I haven't worked that much in the past 2 weeks....:) I guess I will have to pay for that later)
* All the girl's nights and fun times with my awesome friends!
* Eating (I really have eaten whole lot this month ugh)
* Talking to friends and family whom I haven't talked to in a while, feeling that loving christmas spirit.
* Peppermint Hot Chocolate
* Remembering the TRUE Christmas meaning, studying Christ's birth and life, and being grateful for all that He did for us so that we could be here and celebrate this time of year.
* My awesome christmas presents ("House Bunny", yoga mat, pajamas, apron, smelly good stuff, being with my family)
* Watching "Mamma Mia" with Doug and Beth and watching Doug's reactions to it. I LOVE IT! :)
* Buying a box of 10 puzzles that Beth and I started putting together yesterday. They're not easy! We started one of Greece, but it was just a bunch of white buildings and the ocean so that was too hard, and then we started one of Times Square that is still being worked on (and it will be a while till I finish it)
* Delivering Secret Santa gifts with Stephanie, yelling Feliz Navidad to the family's door cause they wouldn't answer it, and spilling beans everywhere cause I got a hole in the bag when we were delivering a basket of food.

I know there are so many more good memories that I have made throughout this past month and this Christmas season. But I dont' have a very good memory, so if you have any, add them! And let me know what your favorite memories are of this holiday!

Michael Scott: Christmas is awesome. First of all, you get to spend time with people you love. Secondly, you can get drunk and no one can say anything. Third, you give presents. What's better than giving presents? And fourth, getting presents. So, four things. Not bad for one day. It's really the greatest day of all time.
