Holidays

During our reading class at school, I have my kids respond in writing to a simple question. Today, it was "What do you love about winter?" I got answers ranging from "Drinking hot chocolate inside" to "Making snow angels." I realized that I love this time of year. I love shopping amidst the insanity. I love buying just that right gift. I love chopping down our Christmas tree. I love seeing all of the Christmas lights beginning to sparkle. And I really love the extra opportunities to see family and friends. (This year, I am going to visit my best friend, Andrea, in St. Louis!)

What do you love most about this time of year?

I love some of the same things your kids love. I love watching movies while knitting or drinking hot chocolate, snow, baking for Christmas, wrapping presents, and wearing sweaters and boots.

I just love everything about the holiday season. I love baking cookies, going to see Christmas lights, and spending time with my family and friends. I'm really looking forward to this winter now that my nephew is old enough to enjoy playing in the snow and unwrapping presents.

I love the carols and wish we sang them every Sunday during December. I love knowing what the ideal gift is for s0-and-so and the hunt to find it (if it's obscure). I love finding wonderful wrapping paper and embellishments. I love giving to people in need. I love lighting candles of vanilla or apple scent. I love playing board games with the kids over break.
