christmas time....

I love love love Christmas...I love decorating with Christmas music blaring, Carmel Apple Ciders from Starbucks, the smell of a fresh Christmas Tree, Christmas scented candles, wrapping presents, eating all of the delicious food and not feeling one bit guilty about it, holiday parties, seeing family and friends, vacation time from work, rain and cold weather, turning the heater on, having a fire in the fireplace, Christmas movies, Christmas lights, crazed shopping malls, opening Christmas cards, seeing the joy on little kids faces, and most of all seeing Santa! :)
