There are so many things about Christmas that sort of take away from the holiday: the angry shoppers, road rage and rudeness. There are the guys who threw a planter through my church’s glass front door yesterday or the car insurance claims caused by slick roads. There are family arguments over who will make the turkey or who will get Christmas Day vs. Christmas Eve, or whether or not the inlaws will get to see their grandchildren at all this year.
Whatever challenges you face this year, try and think about all the reasons why Christmas is fun.
- Decorating the tree
- finding the perfect gift for that someone special
- sledding and snowmen
- laughing at bad wrapping jobs
- horrendous Christmas sweaters
- Bailey’s in your morning coffee
- kisses under the mistletoe
- playing Santa & Mrs. Claus *wink wink*
- listening to some really outdated Christmas music on the radio
- watching the yule log on TV
- spending time with friends and family…
There are so many reasons why Christmas is fun and not all work… take the time to enjoy those fun moments and let the stressful ones roll off. What do you find most fun about Christmas?
Here’s my favourite fun moment of the season so far: My mini-man’s pride at his work of art.
We have that same gingerbread house cept we haven’t put it together yet. Think we will be waiting till next year.. they do last that long right? lol
Awww look at that little guy with his Gingerbread house! LOOKS AWESOME! He did a really good job
My favourite things about Christmas… hmm.. playing in the snow when there is snow… hanging out with my family..
But most of all…. homemade waffles with homemade strawberry sauce and maple syrup on Christmas morning… MMMMM!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MICHELLE!
LOL @ Tyler I think they last forever. I’m not entirely sure they’re meant to be edible, actually, but they sure are fun putting together. I would recommend, however, if you are planning to eat it, that you purchase better candies than the ones it comes with. They look nice but are not worth writing home about.
@ Allie Wow. You have me craving waffles now haha! Those sound awesome. Have a wonderful Christmas yourself! I’m hoping to find some more time to blog, but life has been so crazy as of late – ski industry work and all
Maybe soon…
