Here's a few of my favorite things this time of year. I must admit I've found it a bit hard getting into the "Christmas spirit" when we're still having 70 degree days, but I am in Texas, what else should I expect?
On to my favorites...First and foremost I want to make sure and state the amazing gift given to each of us that makes this time of year so incredibly personal and special: The birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. How incredibly undeserving and hard to comprehend the magnitude of this gift...
Now, the following are other things that make this time of year oh so special and fun!
1. The smell of Christmas trees
2. Listening to Christmas music...all the time
3. Stockings hanging from the mantle
4. Making Christmas cookies
5. Christmas movies, especially Burl Ives Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
My top favorite Christmas songs:
1. Kelly Clarkson- Oh Holy Night (my all time favorite! especially sung acappella)
2. Amy Grant- Breath of Heaven
3. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
4. Joy Williams- Here With Us
5. Andrea Bocelli&Celine Dion- The Prayer
New additions to this year's Christmas song list:
1. Harry Connick Jr- It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas
2. Lenka- All My Bells Are Ringing
3. Zach Gill- Silent Night
4. KT Tunstall- Sleigh Ride

I'll leave you with one of the best Christmas movie scenes ever...
