Ho Ho Ho!

With all the stores playing Christmas music it’s safe to say that Christmas is coming up and around the corner, I want to talk about some of my favorite things about Christmas. Of course I love waking up on Christmas morning and opening up all my presents from my family, and watching my family open up all their presents from me.  It just feels really good to have everyone in my family there with me, although most of the time we will bicker with each other it is still a lot of fun.  Another thing that I like about Christmas is watching old Christmas movies that they play on television such as “A Christmas Story” those are movies I wouldn’t just pick up and watch and they are movies that I only watch about once a year.  Along with that I like to play in the snow with my nephews, then rush back inside when it’s so cold we can’t stand it outside anymore and drink hot chocolate with extra marshmallows, I prefer my hot chocolate with milk not water ;)!  I’m from a town near St. Louis and a popular thing to do around Christmas is go to a place called Santa’s Magical Kingdom!

I’m from a town near St. Louis and a popular thing to do around Christmas is go to a place called Santa’s Magical Kingdom! For those of you who do not know what Santa’s magical Kingdom is, it is a park called Jelly stone Park more like a resort because in the summer months people camp there in tents and cabin and in campers. Well around Christmas time they turn it into a major light show. There are lights everywhere, the trees are covered in Christmas lights and the cabins are smothered in them. They also have them hanging from the trees and light up reindeer that look like they are crossing the road, and lights that look like dolphins jumping out of the water and over the cars are you drive by. It is such a pretty sight to see. It is something fun my family likes to do usually every year or every other year. Another thing I like about Christmas is the meals! Being my first year away from college I’ve never really appreciated my mother’s cooking until now. I’m excited for the juicy ham, sweet potatoes covered in melted marshmallows, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans, Watergate salad, and all the deserts! It taste so good and I’m defiantly looking forward to it this year! Lastly, I love going to my family’s houses such as my aunts and eating and watching all the little kids opening their presents from the adults, and going to my boyfriend’s grandpas and aunts is also a really good time for me. I enjoying being around people and celebrating the good times! I take full advantage of that because with the way the world is today you may never get to see all those people again. Now that I’ve shared what I enjoy and love about Christmas I hope that you all have a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
