I know that it's a little early for this post but I can hardly hold back my excitement.
Christmas, cold weather, food, giving and receiving, and the prettiest decorations. As soon as December comes around, I automatically feel the X-mas spirit. I just imagine x-mas trees, presents, snow (even though it doesn't really snow here), x-mas dinner, and just so much more. It truely is the happiest time of the year for me.
This is going to be Josh and mine's 3rd Christmas together. Our first two we were pretty poor so we couldn't afford a tree or very much presents. This year I'm excited to get my first, ever in life, real tree. I'm hoping to make up a lot of ground this year in really getting into Christmas like how I would like to.
Last year we were living at Jason and Michelle's house during the holiday season. We went with them to look for a Christmas tree and helped decorate it. It was a lot of fun and I just look forward to getting our own.
This is also the first year I get to go to San Diego for The Dudley Christmas Eve party. I've never been and I'm super excited to go.
Reasons why I LOVE December:
1. Cold weather, I love to bundle up in a sweater and try to get warm. With as hot as it gets here in the IE cold weather is just what we need. And I've always gone by the thought that it's easy to warm yourself up rather than trying to cool yourself off.
2. The decorations on street lamps. I know it sounds silly but I really is just cool to me. It really makes it look really festive.
3. The smell of pine. With all the Christmas tree farms around you just smell pine everywhere. And again it is just a reminder of Christmas.
4. The food. I love a traditional Christmas dinner. Ham and/or turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, pie, and all the trimmings. I did however enjoy the enchiladas that we had at Terry and Tammy's last year.
5. The presents. I'm talking about getting and GIVING. I love to shop for people and wrap gifts. It's just so much fun. And I don't care how you are, receiving is just as much fun.
6. The family time. Now that Kaleb is older and my niece and nephew are older it's a lot of fun to hang out with the kids. And now the baby is going to to be crawling around at about that time and it's just a beautiful time of year.
7. I get to spend it with the love of my life. Joshua.

You are too cute Kimm!
I LOVE Christmas too...for the same reasons you do too! I can't believe it just around the corner. I was just telling my sister yesterday that the stores are ALREADY selling Christmas stuff. They seem to bring it out earlier and earlier every year. It's crazy! Well, even though it was cramped, we enjoyed having you guys living with us during the holiday season. That's what it's about, right? FAMILY. It was so cool to wake up with Kaleb here. I can't wait when we can do that with our own kids. :)
