Fill In The Blank Friday - Christmas

Something light to get me back into blogging...

1.  "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is..."

Well that's pretty easy, it's singing loud for all to hear.  I save my beautiful voice for the shower and Quinn, though.  I've joke sang in front of my husband quite a bit lately.  According to him, if we ever win the lottery, we're starting a singing group.  We're that 'good'!

2.  The holiday season is...

Usually overwhelming and tiring but this years look to be wonderful.  Something about having a 18 month old who finds delight and fun in everything changes my whole perspective on holidays.  She enjoys life and everything it has to offer, so my goal this year is to have a whole lot of fun with her!  Tonight, we're partaking in a community Christmas and going out to dinner. 

3.  When it comes to holiday decorating...

The more, the better.  I was raised in a household, that when it come to Christmas time, all the regular decorations come down and every wall, nook and cranny is covered with red, white and green.  I've inherited a bunch of Christmas decorations from my mom so our living room is pretty decked out right now.

Note to my mom:  MOM!!  I now know why you've gotten rid of all your decorations...they're either broke, broke or in need of a glue job!  Also, we've had our tree up since Sunday and only one time has Quinn touched something on the tree...she's being such a good girl.  Your decorations will be safe with Quinn...Mitchell on the other hand...

4.  The thing I look forward to most about the holidays is...

Family time, music, lights and all the other activites that come with it!

5.  My favorite holiday tradition is...

On Christmas Eve, we go to Christmas Eve mass.  I love being able to get dressed to the nines in holiday wear.  After mass, we go back to my parent's, eat Mexican for dinner and then unwrap gifts.  After that we usually play some type of game that usually ends up being overly competitive and way too loud!

6.  This year my plans include...

Making a whole bunch of goodies, with the little ones help, doing Christmas crafts and spending time with all of our family.

7.  My favorite holiday food is...

Oreo truffles, sugar cookies with frosting and caramel corn.  I wouldn't mind if my mom my a batch or six of her chocalate cookies.  Christmas food definetly trumps Thanksgiving and every other holidays...I mean it's not even a contest.

So what do you have up your sleeve for the holidays?
