Thirteen Christmas-y Things I Enjoy

  1. The yearly Christmas parade.
  2. The children’s Christmas program at church
  3. Singing Christmas carols at church
  4. Making dinner for my family (R.T., our two children and their spouses and the two grandgirls)
  5. Shopping with R.T. The man knows how to shop!
  6. Wrapping gifts
  7. Squinting when I first look at the Christmas tree so I can see how evenly the lights are distributed
  8. Putting the old, familiar and treasured ornaments on the tree
  9. Seeing my collection of nesting Santas
  10. Buying something that I know will be perfect for whoever I’m shopping for
  11. Christmas Eve candle-lighting service at church
  12. Feeling so close to my family
  13. Two weeks off work.

    Oh,my! It is Thursday again, isn’t it?! I’d better get busy. Maybe I’ll copy your idea — these are all great Christmas events/sights.

    Carol: Isn’t it amazing how quickly Wednesday/Thursday rolls around each week?!

    I got mine up super late – but it’s up.

    I love your ideas – I wish I’d read this before I started on mine. i just couldn’t seem to pull it together tonight )

    Great list!

    Merry Christmas!

    Carol: After THAT comment, I was expecting a really lousy T13 over at your place, but I LOVED all the photographs!  I think  you pulled it together very nicely!

    finally! someone else who enjoys wrapping the gifts!
    my tt is up.

    Carol:  To be TOTALLY honest, I probably should have written that I enjoy “having wrapped” gifts.  There’s a difference.  -) Nahh – I like to wrap them, too.

    ME TOO!!! I love all those things…..except I have never shopped with R.T.!!
    Have a fabulous Christmas.

     Jane:  Shopping with RT is fun because he has such good instincts about what to buy people.  Last weekend, we got ALL our shopping done in a few hours.  It was great.

    I didn’t know you collected nesting Santas. -)
    I enjoyed reading your list!

    Carol:  Yes, Lyn – I collect them.  If you ever draw my name, now you know something I would LOVE!  Now that I’ve written that, let me look at my list (since I’m keeping the list this year) and see who has my name this year.  -) Oh well – not you.  C’est la vie!

    Except for the shopping and wrapping, it sounds like we have similar traditions.

    Thanks for visiting my TT on special memories of gifts.

    Carol:  Thanks for stopping by, Norma.  Merry Christmas!
