25 things I love about Christmas

During the month of December on the Hallmark channel or abc Family (I can't remember which one now), they have the "25 Days of Christmas", which is 25 days in a row where they play a Christmas movie at night. They usually have no-name actors, have some sort of Christmas drama where they try to get a tear out of ya, and it usually works, even though you are sitting there asking yourself "Why am I wasting my time watching this?" Anyways, as bad as they are, we have been watching them most nights, so I thought I would follow along and do my own 25 things I love about Christmas!

1. We celebrate Christ's birth

2. Christmas trees- nothing beats the smell of a real Christmas tree

3. Christmas tree ornaments- we each get a new one every year

4. Christmas music everywhere- at home, in the car, in stores, at church

5. Christmas cookies-nothing beats sugar cookie dough

6. Christmas homemade candy- can't have a Christmas without chocolate dipped goodies and turtles

7. Christmas cards- I look forward to getting cards/pictures in the mail- this is ours. I couldn't get it to copy both the border and picture together, so if you didn't get one in the mail, you will just have to picture what it looks like put together!
