I've never had a blog before. I've considered it, but just didn't really think I'd have much to say. But I've decided to try it out and see how I like it! So this is my official first blog, and I would like to start this thing off with 10 of my favorite things about this time of the year…
10) The need to always have something hot and delicious to drink. I way take advantage of this :)
9) All the yummy pumpkin-y things that come out.
8) Scarves, sweaters, boots, and cozy pajamas. They all count as one category. :)
7) Oh, how I miss snow and sledding!
6) Watching movies that we watch every single year at this time, but never get sick of… favorite of which is White Christmas. I know words to all of the songs. :)
5)Choosing gifts, making gifts.. giving gifts to those I love. I love to give!
4) Reminiscing about holiday memories of when we were kids
3) Traditions... my family’s traditions, learning other families’ traditions… I love that it’s such a traditional time.
2) Going to Ohio to see my family, extended family, and old friends(those of them who are still there anyways)!
1) The knowledge that this season is about my Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful have the understanding that this is not just about tradition and good feelings and just ‘what we do’. If it wasn’t for Him, it would really be empty.
These aren’t necessarily my exact top 10, or by any means my only 10. Anyone who knows me well enough should know I’d have a hard time choosing just 10 or rating them :). I like taking the time to think about the simple things that I enjoy in my life. We often get so busy this time of year, that we don’t take the time to stop and take it all in. Then it’s gone before we know it. This holiday season I’ve committed to stop now and then and praise God for so many enjoyable things in my life to thank Him for!
