My family loves to play games, and each year for Christmas we would always get a few new games to try out. I have tried to keep that a tradition with Ty and I where we give the kids one new game every Christmas and then a family game. Then we spend the week after Christmas through New Years playing all the fun, new games!
I always associate chocolate milk with Christmas morning. My mom would always buy it for us and we would drink it out of the same Santa mugs every year. I of course, do the same thing or my family, except with different mugs of course!:)
Baking! I love to bake, but ecspecially around this time of year. I have tried many new cookie receipes already, and I always look forward to my moms famous sugar cookies!
Presents, of course! I love wrapping, and buying the perfect gift for others. I always start my shopping in October, but I still shop through December. I just love watching people open presents, of course I love presents too, who doesn't?
Growing up we would pile in our mini van and drive around town on a Monday night to the various neighborhoods that would have light displays, We would sing Christmas songs and my brothers, sister and I would have a contest of who could count the most houses with lights on them. This kept us quiet for a good amount of time, because we didn't want to miss a house. I am sure my parents enjoyed the quiet!
The music! Of course I love Christmas music! I don't get sick of it, I don't mind when it comes on early! It gives me peace. I grew up singing at malls, The Dickens Festivel, The Festivel of Tree's and many other Christmas places. I loved learning new Christmas songs and performing them for people. I loved singing downtown at the ZCMI Center and Crossroads mall, because people from all different levels of the mall could look down and listen to you sing. I will cherish those memories.
Of course the older I get the more I ponder and think about the Savior at Christmas time. What a marvelous person he was, and I am so thankful for him and his life. I hope to always instill a knowledge of the " true spirt" of Christmas into my children. I love all the " festive" things about Christmas too, but there is so much more to it, than Santa Claus and treats, and parties.
Of Course we all know how much I love this movie. I just do! I can't help it. I haven't even watched it yet this year, but we need to! Ty and I need to watch, The Holiday, The Family Stone, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, The Christmas Carol and I need to watch White Christmas, since Tyler doesn't like it very much!
