2. Having my sweet husband make a fabulous dinner, snuggle with me, give me kisses and share a bottle of wine with me is like having my birthday every day. (Sorry, Jesus.)
2. The less we buy for Christmas gifts, the more precious the day is itself.
3. There's nothing more perfect than taking a walk on Christmas day and then watching it snow once we come inside.
4. Calories eaten on Christmas Day are like little presents we buy ourselves on credit. They are delightful and totally worth it, even if we pay for them later.
5. Homemade fudge doesn't work with 1% milk.
6. Be careful what traditions you start. I once had to quit a job because I was spending too much money on a candy dish and filling it up with chocolate. (Just kidding, sort of).
7. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is still amazing today even though it was written nearly two hundred years ago. What will we give each other that could ever last that long?
8. There's some Christmas songs like White Christmas that I never get tired of hearing and can listen to back to back sung by different artists (Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, etc.)
9. If I went wassailing today in our neighborhood I might get arrested for disturbing the peace, which says more about my voice than the neighbors.
10. Buying fewer presents means the less likely you will be to stand in line to return something after Christmas.
11. The less you shop, the less you have to walk past the Salvation Army bell ringing.
12. With winter solstice already behind us, daylight will start to get longer again. Hallelujah.
Merry Christmas!!
