We are off to Miami in the morning..VERY early morning. We are so excited for a Christmas with all the kids!! E, Jenny and Will were here over night and then headed out the afternoon to start on the second leg of their trip. It was great to have Will here today..I just love to have him running around my house! Have I told you he is the cutest ever!!!! I spent the day baking and I am baked out!!! Now it is time to pack up and try to get a couple of hours sleep.
Some random thoughts about Christmas....
I love Christmas movies. I have successfully watched 500 hours of Christmas movies! Love them..all the same story basically, totally corny, totally idealistic.....
My favorite? It's a Wonderful Life.
I love Christmas cards..sending them and getting them
I'm a traditionalist, although my tinsel tree would mess that theory up. (This year I put up a tinsel tree with pink, purple, apple green and turquoise. I call it funky Mark calls it tacky!)
LOVE Love Christmas music
Stockings are the best part of Christmas morning
My favorite Christmas gift when I was a kid?..Velvet!! She was a doll with a long blonde ponytail that could be long or short by the push of her belly button.
My favorite recent Christmas memory? The Christmas after my mom died and "by chance" it ended up being just Mark, Ry, E and me at home.
My favorite memory as a kid? Midnight mass
My funniest Christmas memory? The year that my toilet was on the front lawn and the poinsettias caught on fire.
I love the Christmas story, It truly is amazing and miraculous!
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with people you hold dear and I pray that you will experience the peace and expectation of the coming Christ.
