What makes Christmas feel like Christmas to you?

1. Weather: Gotta be cold. Snow is great, but rarely happens. Just has to be cold, thank you.

2. Tree: The tree has to be up for awhile. Let me really anticipate Christmas morning! Putting the tree up a week before Christmas is too late, folks.

3. Play lots of Christmas music the whole month.

4. Remember to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The grocery clerks, the mailman, the neighbors, friends on the phone... everyone.

5. Driving around looking at lights frequently in the weeks before Christmas.

6. Hot chocolate!

7. Sitting up every night for a few minutes and staring at the lit tree in the dark.

8. LOTS of family over on Christmas Day! It has to be loud in the house. Chaotic. Uproarious laughter.

  1. Hmm, let's see, putting up the Christmas tree and sitting in the dark, enjoying the lights, with my youngest on my lap.

  2. I see we both like to sit in the dark and stare at the tree. You have such good taste. LOL
