Christmas Eve and things


Christmas Eve is finally here and I am so excited. Mainly the excitement for me comes in anticipation for my kids. I love Christmas morning and watching their cute little faces light up. This year was sort of stressful, it was hard finding the Christmas cheer when Kurt & I are stressed over the tight budget, but eventually it melted away and we could focus on what realy mattered. I wanted to share a few of my favorite things about this time of year, my friend Rasha over at and this is what she said has been doing just that and I thought it was a great way to spread the Christmas cheer. It seems the Christmas spirit is few and far between now a days.

I love that most people are a little more giving, caring, and plain happy around Christmas time.


Christmas movies, a few of my favorites are: White Christmas, A Wonderful Life, Frosty the Snowman, Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Charlie Brown Christmas


Classic Christmas Music like Burl Ives, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, and all the classic kids christmas songs.


I'm hooked on two Christmas drinks: Hot cocoa with flavored coffee creamer in it...mmm and eggnog.


Christmas is the ONLY day of the year I ever willing want snow on my doorstep, nothing like a white christmas!


The time spent with family and friends and great food.



Making Christmas cookies and all the baking that comes with the holidays. I made an egg color glaze this year that was really fun then frosted them, pretty neat!



These cute little ornaments/decorations at Target, I love them!


Merry Christmas!!
