I was reading Women’s Health at the gym a couple of days ago (no, really) and a few of the magazine’s writers were asked what their favorite things were about the holiday season. I thought, “That would make a cool blog post.”
So, here’s my list:
- Christmas episodes of TV shows (think Roseanne, Little House on the Prairie, The O.C.)
- New wrapping paper
- Chocolate peppermintinis
- News reports about those weirdos who run up $1,000 electric bills with their outdoor light displays
- Going out shopping with CU, then pointing at things and saying, “THAT would make a good Christmas present. No wait, come back here - LOOK - that would make a good Christmas present. Did you hear me?“
- Looking at all the ornaments CU and I have acquired over the years
- Bitching about that horrible song, “Christmas Shoes”
- Opening *one* present on Christmas eve
- Christmas Eve dinner at The Melting Pot
- Watching Cookie and Daisy go all wiggy trying to get chewbones out of their stockings
What about you?

The worst/best moments of the year shows on E! and stuff like that. I also really dig the cold weather and the desire to cook and nest. Merry 12/13!

That reminds me…I used to LOVE the big “America’s Top 40″ year-end countdown with Casey Kasem. That was quite the New Year’s Eve highlight for a kid!

I agree completely about “The Christmas Shoes” - BLECH!
Hope your exam went well!

That’s a cute idea — I think I might steal it for my own post (attributed, of course).
Here are a couple:
Seeing so many red decorations out (I love red)
Shopping for the nieces/nephews
Decorating the tree
