On another note, I am so very excited for Christmas this year, as always! I celebrate Christmas because it is a family tradition. It is so fun to get involved in the community at this time of year and to enjoy the holiday season with everyone around you. Christmas is just magical. To me, Christmas has nothing to do with a God or a guy named Jesus. I thought I would share things I love about Christmas that to me, have nothing to do with religion. Here they are:
- Spending a couple of months looking for gifts that make my friends and family smile and know that they are loved
- Sipping on hot chocolate with marshmallows while decorating a fresh pine tree with ornaments that bring back so many memories
- Visiting Santa's Reindeer at Thanksgiving Point
- Singing Christmas songs you've known and sang with your family since you could first talk
- Volunteering at places like the food bank, to help others have a happy Christmas too
- Cooking all day to sit down to a delicious meal with my family I love dearly
- Everyone being together to celebrate
- Christmas baking!!! (cookies and banana bread are my personal specialty)
- Christmas Crafts
- Christmas lights
- Wrapping Presents
There are so many more that I'm forgetting, I'm sure, but I just love Christmas time so much! It's sad when it's over...but then it's onto New Years, setting New Years goals, and Valentine's Day!!! Lol. Maybe I just love every holiday, ok? Ok. I hope everyone has a good weekend!!! =D
