Three Things: Christmas 2017

December 19, 2017 · 8 Comments

I saw this on Jana’s blog and wanted to do it too, so here goes!

3 Things I Love About Christmas

  1. 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.
  2. Being snuggled on the couch Christmas Day watching 24 hours of A Christmas Story.
  3. Cookies.  There, I said it.

3 Things I Dislike About Christmas

  1. People seem to get ruder around the holidays, especially when driving.  I can’t stand it.
  2. The song “Silver Bells.”  I hate it.
  3. Nutcrackers — I think they’re really weird.  Don’t ask me to explain past that.

3 Favorite Christmas Movies

  1. Christmas Vacation
  2.  Elf
  3. Miracle on 34th Street – the original one.

3 Favorite Christmas Treats

  1. Revel bars – recipe to come soon.
  2. The peanut butter cookies with the Hershey Kiss on them – I can’t remember the name!
  3. Decorated sugar cookies.

3 Favorite Christmas Traditions

  1.  On Christmas Eve, we always have appetizers and open the presents from each other.  I always look forward to the shrimp and cheese ball!
  2. 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.
  3. Driving around and looking at Christmas lights.

3 Favorite Christmas Songs

  1. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – Judy Garland’s
  2. The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole
  3. Merry Christmas Baby – Bruce Springsteen

3 Favorite Christmas Gifts Received

  1. I’m really bad at remembering things, so I’m going to skip this one.

3 Gifts I Want to Give the World

  1. Kindness – I firmly believe that if everyone was a little kinder to everyone else, the world would be a better place.
  2. The chance for a good education.
  3. An MTV station that plays music videos and only the good Real Worlds.

    Peanut Butter Blossoms! I should make those, because cookies are definitely in the Top 3 for things I love about Christmas too.

    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
