The Ten things that I love about Christmas!

I am sitting here with my family and I wanted to make a list of ten things I love about Christmas. There in no particular order.

10.) Eating lots of AWESOME food that my mom and grandmom make

9.) Eating endless amounts of my granddads peanut brittle. (he has his own recipe and we will not let anyone know what it is...its better than any other!)

8.) Going to see Christmas lights on houses!

7.) Drinking Hot Cocoa and watching old Christmas movies

6.) Playing cards and dominoes with my family. Also Mad Gab is a blast! You should try it!

5.) Christmas eve services where kids sing....especially todlers. It is precious but hilarious at the same time.

4.) Reading the Christmas story outloud with my family. (Read the first 5 chapters of Luke for the full story!)

3.) Taking an angel off the tree at walmart and helping a family have Christmas that would have had Christmas

2.) Wrapping Gifts!! And Making people's gifts.

1.) Celebrating the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ!

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!! Keep Checking the blog....I will put more on soon!

Really Creative ornaments!

Sorry that it is Saturday and I am blogging a day late, but I had a crazy day getting ready to go home for Christmas!! I am home! So, I am blogging! I found this fun ornament idea and I thought I would share it with you! Did you know that in the 1800s kids would get oranges in their stockings! That was such a treat because they didn't get them year round. They were too expensive. The would wake up christmas morning and there would be oranges in their stocking. For a few years my mom would carry on that tradition. Here is another way to carry on that tradition...make them ornaments! Here is a picture of the finished product but click on "Orange Christmas Ornaments" below and it will send you to a website on "how to" to get a "how to" This could be a fun Mom daughter activity since you are out of school!
