I saw this on Jana’s blog and wanted to do it too, so here goes!
3 Things I Love About Christmas
- Christmas lights. I love alllll the houses being all decorated and lit up. I also love all the blow-ups and yard displays, and all that fun stuff.
- Being snuggled on the couch Christmas Day watching 24 hours of A Christmas Story.
- Cookies. There, I said it.
3 Things I Dislike About Christmas
- People seem to get ruder around the holidays, especially when driving. I can’t stand it.
- The song “Silver Bells.” I hate it.
- Nutcrackers — I think they’re really weird. Don’t ask me to explain past that.
3 Favorite Christmas Movies

- Elf
- Miracle on 34th Street – the original one.
3 Favorite Christmas Treats
- Revel bars – recipe to come soon.
- The peanut butter cookies with the Hershey Kiss on them – I can’t remember the name!
- Decorated sugar cookies.
3 Favorite Christmas Traditions
- On Christmas Eve, we always have appetizers and open the presents from each other. I always look forward to the shrimp and cheese ball!
- Seeing Santa come by in the fire-truck on our street. The City of Hoover always sends Santa out on Christmas Eve in a fire truck, complete with sirens and all.
- Driving around and looking at Christmas lights.

- An MTV station that plays music videos and only the good Real Worlds.
omg the holiday driving. if they aren’t driving slow AF, they’re trying to crash into me. CHILL PEOPLE.
happy holidays!!
I also could not remember that many cool gifts, haha.
Why do people turn in to such asshats around Christmas in their cars??? It makes no sense! I hate Silver Bells too. And give me ALLLLL the Christmas cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to do this post too, so I think I am gonna.
Peanut Butter Blossoms! I should make those, because cookies are definitely in the Top 3 for things I love about Christmas too.
I share all three of your dislikes!! The original Miracle on 34th Street is the best!
Amen on those gifts to the world. Seriously. We need kindness so much! I think those cookies are called Peanut Butter Blossoms, or at least they are sometimes. 🙂 I don’t associate them with xmas, but love them .Silver Bells is the most boring song ever. But I like Nutcrackers. 😛 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🙂 XO – Alexandra
