it’s Christmas time.

…well, it’s close.

I wrapped our first Christmas present today and put it under the tree. I love the paper, the colours, the lights, the music- we even have a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. I think I enjoy the days leading up to Christmas about as much as the day itself.

This is officially the year for catching up with traditions! Apparently, there are a lot of Christmas classic movies that I haven’t seen? Some of my friends were a bit disturbed that I hadn’t seen Rudolf, a Charlie Brown Christmas or It’s a Wonderful World to name a few, so I’ve been getting the classics in full force. I’m in the holiday mood and I’m enjoying the old movies. And by the way- I’d love to hear your holiday classics and traditions! I’m all for supplementing.

I’ve got the popcorn, bring on the eggnog!

    A Christmas Story is one of my favorites along with It’s a wonderful life. But my favorite tradition is Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve it all started with your husband aka my son. We would go eat breakfast and go buy something for mom aka my wife and come home later and wrap gifts and watch “A Christmas story”. The tradition still goes on now I share it with Sarah and Rose. Merry Christmas I Love you guys. Love Dad G
