There are some things, for me, that mean it must be the holidays.
Since today is December 1st, I thought I would write those things that mean December.
- A tree in our family room complete with ornaments that tell so many stories and hold so many memories
- Dozens (over 150) photo Christmas cards addressed, stamped, a message written inside, and put in the mail
- Christmas cookies -- at least a few (I used to make dozens and dozens until I realized that I was the only one at home to eat them.) Now, I make a few and give a lot away.
- SNOW! I don't really have control over that one... but its a necessity
- Christmas Music -- Forbidden until the week of Thanksgiving
- A Christmas ring tone on my phone -- I always use part of "Sing Noel" from New Song's album The Christmas Shoes
- Listening to Jiminie The Christmas Tree -- an audio story about a little tree who learned what Christmas is and then wanted to be a Christmas Tree
- Travel... ever since I left for college, December has meant travel... over ten years now I have had to travel to "Be Home For Christmas" -- or, since getting married... be home close to Christmas
- Christmas movies and Christmas tv specials -- I LOVE Christmas movies -- old and new, and sappy tv specials make me so happy!
I can't wait to share these Christmas traditions with Tracey Ann!
