12 Days of Christmas Blogging - Day 1

Anyone who knows me is fully aware of my Christmas addiction. I watch holiday movies all year round and fall in love with anything remotely related to gingerbread, Santa Claus, and Rudolph. In all honesty....my dream job is a Christmas elf. Since this time of year means so much to me, I wanted to take part in a challenge I found online. It is called the "12 Days of Christmas Blogging" challenge and it has 12 writing prompts related to Christmas. So from now until Christmas morning, you will see a post from me every single day.

Day 1: List Your Favourite Things About Christmas

There are so many things I love about the holidays. Some of my favourite moments include: spending time with my family and friends, that warm fuzzy feeling I get in the pit of my stomach, wrapping presents, watching Christmas movies, listening to Bing Crosby before bed, the soft glow of the lights when the sun goes down, the sound my inflatable holiday Spongebob makes, and the kindness in the hearts of others. It is both the big things (being with loved ones) and the small things (the lights and the wrapping paper) that make up the beauty of the season. It is a time to feel grateful, blessed, and loved. Those are my favourite things but they really only scratch the surface. I truly love it all.

What are your favourite things?
