Christmas is over, and I’m exhausted. How about you? Today I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things about the holiday season, besides the obvious favorite of spending time with family and friends. You know, sometimes it’s the little things.
1. Dressing the kids in Christmas pajamas and driving around to see Christmas lights. This was one of the best of our tour.

2. Displaying all the holiday photo cards that we get from friends and family on our refrigerator. |
| 3. Eating and sharing the Christmas cookies we make every year. |  |
 |
4. Picking up StarBucks on the way to celebrating Christmas with my husband’s family. |
 |
5. Enjoying my totally girly pink Christmas tree with the frilly blue tree skirt. |
| 6. Displaying my deer collection across my mantel at Christmas. |  |
 |
7. Eating the chocolate gravy and biscuits I make each Christmas morning. |
| 8. Seeing the looks on my girls’ faces when they open their Christmas presents! |  |
 |
9. Knowing that on this day, we are publicly celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ with so many other Christians around the world.

I’d love to hear a few of YOUR favorite things about Christmas. Please share!

Some of my favorite things about Christmas include celebrating my anniversary 3 days before, enjoying Christmas Eve filets and sparkling cider with my family, and the big cheese ball that my husband’s patient sends each year. We, too, enjoy taking a night to pop popcorn and make hot chocolate to take with us as we drive around to see the lights. And we hang all of our Christmas cards on a red metallic wire wrapped down the rails on the stairs.
