These are a few of my favorite things...

I love Christmas! I really love everything about it (except the stress of trying to get to everyone's houses, I enjoy going, it's just hard to squeeze it all in) but here are some of my favorites.

FAVORITE MOVIES:
#1-Rudolph!!!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOVE RUDOLPH!
#2-Frosty
#3-How the Grinch Stole Christmas
I saw a new movie last weekend, well, new to me anyway, and it was pretty cute. It was called Blizzard.

FAVORITE SONGS:
#1-Little Drummer Boy-I know it's kind of a strange one to have as a favorite, but I've always had such a wonderful image in my head of baby Jesus smiling up at the drummer boy.
#2-Silent Night
#3-Sleigh Ride

FAVORITE MOMENTS:
#1-Spending time with my loved ones
#2-Sipping hot cocoa after a long day of shopping in the cold weather
#3-Spending 3 hours wrapping presents, just to see it get torn off presents in 2 minutes flat!

There are many, many reasons to love Christmas. The magic in my children's eyes certainly ranks at the top! Giving and receiving presents is up there as well. And of course, the general kindness of strangers this time of year. People just seem to smile a little more than normal. But the greatest by far, and it often gets overlooked in all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the true reason for the season, the birth of Jesus Christ. It truly is awesome to ponder on the story of Christmas and all that it means to us. Above all else this year, keep this in your heart.
