For some reason, Christmas time always makes me think of that song. I'm not sure if it is considered to be a Christmas song or not, but it pops in my mind come December. So, I thought I would share some of my favorite things. I listed my top 25. I didn't include things that are obvious, like religious things or things to do with loving my children or my husband (although there are a few in there that have something to do with them....) I wonder what my friends and family would list. It is hard to just pick 25. But, here they are:
1)- Chocolate and ice cream (same category as far as I am concerned.), 2)- Anything sparkly or shimmery (no, I am not blonde.), 3)- Hot scented bubble baths with a good magazine in hand. 4)- A good book (especially a suspense novel) 5)- Homemade soup with cornbread (hmm, food seems to be a theme in my favorite list) 6)-Playing games with friends (specifically Mexican Train Dominoes!) 7)- Really funny movies 8)- Ridiculously good bargains (love some outlet sales...) 9)- Dark Chocolate Peppermint Frappuchinos (highly addictive) 10)-Football season (college only- I am already going through withdrawal) 11)- The smell of my daughters hair (not to mention how soft and silky it is, too) 12)- Family movie night (although I can't wait until they start watching something we all like!) 13)- The lake (can't list all the things I love about being there.) 14)- Bluebirds (always loved them, even when I was little.) 15)- Snowflakes (I have a collection- it has something to do with loving shimmery things...) 16)- Snuggling with my cats (always makes me feel better.) 17)- Old houses/ antiques in general. 18)- Charleston! 19)- Cruising ( just about anywhere is fine with me) 20)- Trying new recipes and they turn out good (cooking in general) 21)- Compliments from my husband (I know he loves me, but it is always good to hear it.) 22)- White lights in trees (back to the sparkly things- I wish they would leave them up year-round!) 23)- Sleep- good deep sleep. 24)- Springtime (except for the pollen) 25)- A real fire in the fireplace. I think that about sums it up. There are so many more things I love. But these are my ultimate favorites. Anyway- on another note- we have a couple of prospects on land. They are both a little further out than we had planned, but they are both around 20 acres- which would be cool. We could sell some or keep some for the girls. And our house we want to build would look spectacular on a big estate piece. The land we are looking at is beautiful. We will have to pray about it and see what the Big Man Upstairs says. Hope you all get to enjoy some of your favorite things this season and year-round!
