Three Things: Christmas 2017

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.

2. The peanut butter cookies with the Hershey Kiss on them – I can’t remember the name!

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!
