it's beginning to look alot like........

Christmas! so, this isn't exactly what mese posted but i'll list all the things i love about this time of year, & what i'm grateful for.(in no particular order)

*my family and friends-i am truly blessed to have so many people in my life that i love,and that love me.i don't always show it but i love each and every one of you.if it weren't for such wonderful,amazing people in my life i would not be the person i am today.with that in mind-thank you from the bottom of my heart,and i love you.

*finding something that i know someone would love and seeing the smile on their face knowing that it's something they really wanted-especially my nieces & nephews.their beautiful little faces just make me love being an auntie.

*lights!lights!lights!

*wearing a beanie or scarf-well, anywhere but cali apparently.86 degrees in december?what the crap is that about:)

*having our annual "tempura"night with my siblings at our house a week or so before everyone scatters to the in-laws

*decorating the christmas tree and house

*making treats with my sisters to give out to people

*listening to aaron nevilles christmas cd-it's my favorite one

*going to church on that christmas sunday-it's the best:music,spirit,just love it all

*remembering the birth of our savior and knowing what a blessing that sweet little baby is in our lives.what would it have been like to be there on that night?!gratitude,love,joy,hope,and many other words can be used to describe the spirit that is felt during the christmas season

i hope everyone has a safe,wonderful christmas season with their families and loved ones.so, i tag everyone on my list. i want to know what's a christmas tradition that you do wth your families,or one that you would like to start!happy blogging:)

I love the season too! Hmm, tempura night sure sounds tasty! Are we adopted into the family enough to be invited? I will try to make sure Randy doesn't even smell like pork :)
