Snow Day!

Christmas

Kim got me thinking lists, so I decided to make a list of my favorite things about Christmas...

1. Family time. 2 weeks off work with my kids, a few extra days with Lauren, and a trip to Blanding. Good times.
2. Christmas Eve. I love the anticipation in the air on Christmas Eve.
   
3. Amazon.com. That's a weird one, I know, but as I detest shopping, especially in December, I love that I can buy everything online, with free shipping to boot. It's the small things, ya know?
4. Traditions. We have so many that I love. Christmas eve pajamas, waking up to a ham baking, the pinata, doing Christmas for a needy family, etc.
   
5. The Pinata. It's become a tradition for our family to make a pinata and take it to Blanding and break it with my family. One year Lindsay and Kim almost peed their pants (ask them why).
6. A Christmas story. ("My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master." )
   
7. Christmas morning. Is there anything better than watching your kids open their Christmas presents? No...nothing.
8. Snow. There should be a law that it has to snow on Christmas. A lot.
9. Saturday Night Live Christmas specials. I'm a big fan of Alec Baldwin's secret family recipe.
   
10. The Hanukah Song...so okay, strictly speaking, that's not a christmas thing, but it's one of my favorite things at Christmas, so it counts.

Merry Christmas!!
