What I Like




Yeah! It's Christmastime and we had a pretty good weekend! On the downside, it doesn't look like we're putting up Christmas lights and I suspect we have mice in our garage :(. But beyond that, no complaints. In fact, there's a lot that I like and so here is a list:




  • Goose is starting to ask me how to spells words. She barely can write letters and I'm not certain she can even identify them all but she is finally interested in the written word!


  • I love my pandora radio soooooo much. I have two dozen stations now, I believe, but the one I play the very most is Joe Jackson. Such fun music! I can also have Christmas music whenever I want it, commerical-free!


  • The Messiah Sing-Along was wonderful, as always. Next year I want to bring one of my kids along. (funny... they don't seem excited by the prospect but I love it so much I want to share it!)


  • Along those lines, Husband got out his trumpet and started looking for the music so he can play "And the Trumpet Shall Sound."


  • T-Bone has started wearing a Santa hat to school. So cute!


  • Last evening the kids watched The Nightmare before Christmas and Husband and I sang along as we were reading our books.


  • Goodies have started to trickle into our home.


  • I can read The Christmas Miracle of Johnathan Toomey again and cry at the end. I have to read it about three times aloud before I can get through it without tears.


  • Marzipan!
