Let me count the ways I love you....
Christmas that is! The smell of the tree, going through the decorations and the attached memories, the day by day enjoyment of my old Advent Calendar by my own kids, christmas lights glowing through snow on bushes, reading holiday stories, finding that *perfect* gift for someone, getting pictures of my friends kids in the mail with holiday cards, being able to say happy holidays and make people smile, the smell of gingerbread cookies baking, the smell of apple cider simmering with spices.....
Add in the excitement of my own children as they count down the days.... or my little guy telling me that "the real part of Christmas is being with family and friends and laughing and having fun", and lets not forget all the food.... the Christmas cake, gingerbread cookies, shortbread, tourtiere, turkey and stuffing, chocolates, and enjoying a coffee and Bailey's while you sit back and survey the mess following gift unwrapping....
Christmas for me truly is about the memories, the time with family, love. I like the feeling of it. I love the tradition and my part in keeping it going.
Christmas, I love you!
