Home for the Holidays

Yesterday I was helping my mom with some things that she needed done while she was at work, and I was listening to my brothers. While I listened, I was contemplating how glad I was to be home for the holidays and the reasons why and thinking of the little things that remind me of Christmas along with what I would miss if I was gone. I decided to start a list that I'll add to as the holidays continue. 

1. decorating cookies

2. singing veggie tales at the top of my lungs with my brothers

3. passing out cookies to our neighbors

4. the Christmas tree

5. Christmas music (and the music my mom plays every year)

6. the generosity of others 

7. reading Christmas letters

8. hugs from my siblings/parents
9.wrapping gifts
10. taking my siblings shopping for each other
11. watching Miracle on 34th Street
