Reason Number Twenty

Here's a quick recap of the first nineteen reasons I LOVE Christmas:

1. Christmas trees
2. Serving
3. Christmas music
4. Christmas crafts
5. Starbucks Holiday Drinks and Treats
6. The smells of Christmas
7. Christmas lights
8. The weather
9. Christmas treats
10. Christmas musicals/productions
11. Christmas movies
12. Delivering presents
13. Christmas cards
14. "Festive" Christmas attire
15. Christmas parties
16. Candy canes
17. Christmas ornaments
18. Christmas stories
19. Christmas shopping

And, now for number 20...

20. White elephant gift exchanges. Even though they are usually...well, there's no other way to put it...crappy gifts, I still find them a lot of fun. We went to one tonight with some of our good friends and it was hilarious. Some people literally grabbed things they had half used or had lying around the house...others went to a thrift store and grabbed REALLY random stuff...and others brought things they probably had received as a gift and hated...but never touched. It was pretty funny to see the reactions on people's faces as they opened their gifts. Some of my friends were laughing so hard they were crying. It's fun to see how creative people get with these gift exchanges. It was a really fun night.

On another note, we did all our Christmas shopping today!! Now all I have left to do is wrap everything and get some baking done. I am SO excited for Christmas! This week is going to be the best!
