My cat loves to curl up in gift boxes. Finding those special gifts are so much fun. So far I found them for two out of four kids. At a loss on the others. I love that first snowfall when it's at night. We're in the country and the snow makes everything so seem so quiet and peaceful. Why do pets climb into the middle of the paper you spread out?

Probably because my daughter is a toddler (and infinitely more enjoyable than the infant phase), we have a live tree that smells so good, and it might be a white Christmas this year!

Two of my favorite things around the holiday season is giving and receiving holiday greetings. I don't know why, but giving and receiving those simple words, "Happy Holidays!" makes me feel really happy. :) Happy Holidays! :) Patricia Great post, Laurie!

Christmas is an emotional time of year for anyone, and I think it makes us look at family and friends with more warmth, the kind that we sometimes forget to see with at other times of the year.... To everyone who had someone to love and hold close, remember that every day and cherish it.... it is the true wealth of our lives.... Laurie - always - a special and wonderful lady who Blesses my life with her friendship. Love to everyone.... and the happiest and riches of Holidays.

Also getting together with my siblings and parents every year is so nice and I really enjoy just talking with them in a group. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Some of my favorite things are shopping with my friend for presents for the kids we got from the angel tree...did this las night. Watching all the Christmas classics on tv each year. Love decorating the tree, this year I have a purple tree well actually it's more lavender and I decorated it with purple and pink lights and a few of my vast collection of frog ornaments. It's very cute if I do say so myself. Am loving my secret santa gift I have been geeting each day at work...we did the 12 days of Christmas and each day we get a surprise in our stocking from one of the participants. It's really fun...something we started last year and it mokes coming to work during the holiday season just a little bit nicer. Love the general happy feeling many people get during the holidays...seems people are just nicer to their fellow man during the holidays. Wish the feeling would carry over longer in the year. So anyway those are a few of my favorite things abouth this time of year. Thoughtful post Laurie.

You are SUCH a special person. I hope you always know that. I'm so looking forward to having you and our other dear friends over for a holiday visit! Can't wait, can't wait! I think that might be one of my most favorite "new" traditions - getting together with all of you. This year was special because my grandson, now 4, helped to decorate everything. It was a hoot, and far more chaotic than if I'd just done it myself, but I wouldn't trade that memory for anything. Merry Christmas to you! Lori Oh Laurie, you made me teary-eyed. You are SUCH a special person. I hope you always know that.
