There are two things I do not like At. All. during the holidays. Their names are "Sipping in Seattle's Latte Land" and "Christmas in the Northwest." These songs have forever annoyed me because of their all out corniness that exceeds the limit of corny allowed for regular, old time, good Christmas songs. Someone give me an amen! Anyone?
While I dislike these songs there is an abundant mess of things I absolutely love about this time of year. Taking it from the top:
1.) My sister playing Silver Bells on the piano and singing loudly and withA LOT of bravado like an old lady in church who thinks she sounds really good!
2.) Snowmen decor
3.) Our church all decorated
4.) Christmas movies
5.) Talking to my kids about baby Jesus
6.) Shopping
7.) Arts and crafts with the kids
8.) Saying "Merry Christmas"
9.) Decorating
10.) Looking at the tree while drinking my morning coffee
There is so much more I LOVE, but these are my top ten. What are your faves?
I think I need to hear this rendition of Silver Bells!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Martha! I don't like that "Christmas in the Northwest" song, either! I'd love to hear Amanda sing, though! :) I love Christmas carolling, lights on the house, the smell of a wreath or swag, the smell of wrapping paper, egg nog punch, stockings, the anticipation of the kids, the advent calendars, singing Christmas songs at church, nativity scenes in public, and the freedom we have to celebrate something so precious as God's son coming to earth as a baby!
