It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Early on this month I knew Christmas was somewhat near but really it did not seem like Christmas would be anytime soon because it was sorta warm on some of the days in the afternoon and there was no snow or anything and even though Christmas music had been playing on the radio since the day after Halloween it was just not feeling like Christmas. But then it snowed only a little and it melted soon after but I started thinking about Christmas and past Christmas' and all that and began to get into the Christmas mood! I began thinking about all the people that can be so stressed out and unhappy around Christmas time and was like this is supposed to be the happiest time of the year and you are stressing becuase of all the work you have to do for the holidays? Then I thought how easy it is to get in this mind set if we are not careful but I decided I would do all I can not to be like that and have an amazing Christmas maybe even the best Christmas ever! I just love the feeling of Christmas and all the happy people around you and the beautiful decorations and a nice blanket of snow instantly making even the most simple landscape look amazing! Ok i'm not so fond of ice on the sidewalks and roads and the chilly weather but everything else is just so amazing! Around the holidays you either see the best of a person or the worst of a person and I decided that I was going to try my best to be the best I can be around the holidays and try to keep it that way!

One of my favorite things about Christmas is all the old and new family traditions! A couple weeks ago we decorated are Christmas tree and even though I love putting the star on the tree I let Kayla do it this year becuase she kept asking me so I was like what the heck I guess she can have a turn this year and me and her decorated the tree! It looks amazing so I took a picture of it to show! Haha and hopefully soon there will be more than one present under the tree! By the way the ornaments are clear glass so you can't see them very well in the picture but they are really there you just have to look!

Cool tree! I saw it the other day and really liked it.
I agree with all that you said. As I write it is snowing outside!! :) I don't mind it snowing when I can be inside.
You know what is fun that I just got that makes winter fun? I got a cocoa-latte maker, in other words, a hot chocolate maker. You put your water and choc. mix in and it stirs it up and makes it the perfect warm temperature. I got it last night. It's so fun! I'll have to bring it over or you guys come here and give it a whirl.

Yeah haha snow is great from the inside but lately it has been like a blizzard. Oh we have on of those machines it is great! All you do is stick the ingredients in and it does the rest and then you pour it out the spout thing or can be fancy and use the froth option thing and pour it while it does that to make a frothy top thing!
