My holiday travel this year has been…interesting. I flew out from Seattle and landed at my destination however, my luggage did not make the flight. I thought it would arrive on the next flight out but it didn’t. The next day Seattle was hit with an ice storm that closed the airport so there was no chance of getting my bag then. And then today – nothing. I know there are flights on Christmas Day but if my luggage arrives will it be delivered? I guess we will have to wait and see…
So, I’ve been trying to think good thoughts and think about some of my favorite things about Christmas instead. No, it’s not raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens (you know that I don’t think that is a Christmas song!) but here are some of my favorite things about Christmas:
1. Being with family. The best part of Christmas is seeing family and getting together with loved ones that I haven’t seen in a while.
2. All the twinkling lights. Whether it’s Christmas lights on the tree, on a house, or just any way, I love all the beautiful twinkling lights.
3. Christmas songs. It’s so much fun to sing along to my favorite holiday songs and carols.
4. Baking Christmas cookies. One of my favorite things to do during the holidays!
5. Making gingerbread houses. This is a recent tradition that my family does and it is so much fun to see who can build the tallest house.
6. Holiday movies. Holiday movies are the best.
7. FInding the perfect gift. There’s just something about finding the perfect gift for someone and watching them unwrap it that brings me joy.
8. My mom’s dog in her Christmas sweater. She is so adorable!
9. Christmas ornaments. How fun is it to look at all the Christmas ornaments on the tree? Some of the ornaments hanging on my family’s tree are over 50 years old.
10. The magic. Whether it’s the magic of Santa Claus or the magic of the season, Christmas brings it out.
