Christmas Favorites

I love everything about Christmas! Here are a few things I get excited about each and every year.

1. White Christmas is classic and a tradition in my family. Bing Crosby is another favorite of mine around Christmas and of course, he stars in this 1954 film. Here is one of my favorite songs from the movie.


2. My second favorite Christmas movie, Elf. I could go on and on about this movie, but this video pretty much sums it up!


3. I LOVE our family Christmas tree. My mom bought it years ago after having real tree troubles year after year. We did not like the idea of a fake tree at first, but grew to love all 10 ft. of it. The first year it took 3 days to get it finished. I can't imagine our house without this tree and my mom always jokes that when they finally sell the house they are going to include the tree. Sorry this picture is such poor quality. I took it with my laptop. As you can see, Tucker likes to help too. :)


4. For as long as I can remember my dad has read The Night Before Christmas before going to bed on Christmas Eve. I don't think I will ever be to old for this tradition.

5. Christmas music! I am not one of those people constantly listening to Christmas music after Thanksgiving, but you just can't beat Christmas tunes while mingling with friends and family, cooking or working. Before doing anything on Christmas morning we turn on the music. I was going to list a few of my favorites from our LARGE (thanks Mom) CD collection, but I am having a hard time deciding. ha

6. Christmas cards. I get a few from friends each year but I love coming home to my parents house to find a stack of cards to read. Good or bad, they always bring a smile to my face.
"Wishing you the joy and love of the season, and the time to share with friends and family."

There is so much to love about Christmas. Only 10 more days until the big day!
Merry Christmas!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Time to show off some of our Christmas decor and some new additions to the condo.

Our tree is just a little guy but it works for us. Unfortunately, I think it has a bit of a lean because of the uneven floors in this place.
I finally got around to printing some pictures (one year later...) that I took with my camera. This one of the lake is going over the bookcase in the living room.
This one is pretty simple but I love it. I think it looks great all by itself.
Getting these lined up was quite a task. Like I said with the Christmas tree, our place is a little off when it comes to the foundation. Dylan did a great job!
New Christmas stockings!! Cute, huh? Target. :)
PS. Mine already has a surprise in it!

So far no major problems with the winter weather in Cincinnati. People do not know how to drive in any kind of inclement weather though. Those of you that visited us already know that the drive up to the back parking lot is quite steep. I am not looking forward to our first big snow fall and driving down it into the street. Dylan will have that privilege since he has all-wheel drive.

Our Christmas party is next weekend. I think we will have a good group of people. I think Dylan is excited to put his new speakers to good use. I know I am! We are expecting a few friends from Indy to come out and lots of work friends.

That is all for now. I can't wait to spend some time at home for Christmas. As most of you know, Girl Scouts is closing the office between Christmas and New Years. I have the whole week off!! Only a week and half left! If I do not get to see you this holiday season (Randi, Jenna, Sarah, and Molly and anyone else I am missing) have a wonderful Christmas. I miss all of you so much!

Happy Holidays.
XOXO,
