I love Christmas so incredibly much! And now that it is actually December, I have deemed it acceptable to play Christmas music and begin decorating! (Who am I kidding, we all know that I was blasting Let It Be Christmas on Black Friday... *sheepish grin*)
I love to give people gifts and watch them opening their presents, and I will spend ages thinking of the PERFECT gift for someone. I'm a big believer in making gifts, and gifts that mean a lot without costing so much money.
This year I have planned to make floral arrangements with Mom and take them to the local nursing home. And I'm painting ornaments to give as gifts. (I haven't decided who I want to give the ornaments to yet.)
Mom, Dad and I are planning on watching lots of classic Christmas movies in the evenings this month too! tell me in the comments if you have any recommendations! Thanks!
We love the old stop-motion versions of Rudolph-The Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty The Snowman, and Kris Kringle. We also enjoy: the Home Alone movies, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Polar Express, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and A Christmas Carol, as well as a few others I'm sure I forgot!
A few of my favorite songs are:
Pentatonix's Christmas album, which includes versions of Mary Did You Know, and Carol Of The Bells.
I also like: Let It Be Christmas, The First Noel, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, Do You Hear What I Hear, Jingle Bell Rock, Winter Wonderland, and all the carols sung by artists like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with the big brassy band sounds typical of that era.
Well, I will put up pictures of my decorations and crafts soon! But I think that's about it for this time. Bye!
