CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Christmas so much it hurts!!!!!! Isn't this just the BEST time of year??? Of course my Christmas decorations were out as soon as we got home from Thanksgiving dinner, and my house is now a winter wonderland!!!! This is our tree this year!!! My favorite are the short fat trees, but last year's was MUCH fatter!!

I have 31 special Christmas movies that we watch every year, and the best part is we're getting to see one every night!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you noticed that everyone seems a little nicer this time of year? This is the one month a year you can smile at almost anyone and they will smile back at you!!! I LOVE that!!!! I love that Christmas songs are on every radio station and that we keep Christmas records on constant rotation at home!! I love waking up to a freezing cold morning with mountains of snow outside!! Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to drive in it, but I just LOVE being snowed in with my two favorite people!!!! Anyway, all of that to say, I think Hopey may possibly be following in her mother's footsteps!!!!!! She is absolutely loving the Christmas tree and the decorations all over the house!! And, for those of you that know her, she didn't cry when we met santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, she refused to smile, but she didn't cry!!!!!! That's huge!!!!!!!!! She even sat on his lap and had her picture taken!!! YES, I KNOW, MY DAUGHTER GOT HER PICTURE TAKEN BY A PROFESSIONAL WITHOUT THROWING A FIT!!!!!!!

There's the proof!! Anyway, I just wanted to share my Christmas joy with everyone else, and wish you all a very merry early Christmas!!!!
