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!
