Happiness at Christmastime

Only two days until Christmas.  I wanted to list some of the things I just LOVE!

Happiness at Christmastime is...

The chill in the air with the smell of fireplaces around the neighborhood

Candles

The classic version of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

Peppermint ice cream

My collection of snowmen

Fake snow at Disneyland

Watching A Christmas Story with my Dad

Almost missing the real snow... ok, I miss it, but don't tell my husband that.

Decorating the tree with all my ornaments of the past and a new one each year

Cookie parties with my Mom

Singing "Baby, it's cold outside" and other holiday favorites

Visiting family

Christmas Socks

The Muppet Christmas Carol

Mr. Bean's Christmas

Making Christmas CDs and playlists

Sibling sleepovers and Christmas Pajamas

Stockings hung up.... somewhere.  We don't have a fireplace.

Wishing I liked egg-nog

Christmas cinnamon bread

Saying "Merry Christmas" to anybody

See's chocolates

Driving around at night to see the lights

Peeking on Christmas Eve

Seeing Nativities and reading the Christmas Story

Remembering the true meaning of Christmas even though the world tries to forget it.

And so much more!!
