'Tis The Season...

For Christmas lights and neighbors out doing neighbors with their light shows,
For Christmas Cookies! Sugar cookies, Peanut Butter with Hershy Kisses, and ginger bread men.
For Christmas Parties with egg nog and cider and more food than anyone can eat!
For Christmas candy! Chocolates made by Jen, candy canes, and boxes of chocolates!
For Christmas cheer! People everywhere willing to give to those in need.
For Christmas stories and movies, "The Grinch", "A Christmas Carol" and a Leavitt favorite, "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation".
For Christmas decorations and, "Decking the Hall with boughs of Holly". Tiny houses all lit up, ornaments on the tree, and MY favorite, Nativity displays!
For Anxious kids asking, "How many days 'til Christmas?" "When is Santa going to bring the presents?" and "When is Christmas Break?"
For Christmas programs and children singing about Santa and snowmen.
For Christmas Eve and Chines food. Kids so excited they can't sit still during the Nativity story, and always having a new baby to play baby Jesus!
'Tis the season for CHRIST-mas!

Yep, that about sums it up for me too. Wish we could be in Idaho for Christmas this year!
