Can you believe it's almost Christmas? I mean, really! Can you actually, truly believe it? I guess what I'm asking is, do you feel like it's time for Christmas?
My husband Bo came up with the idea for this meme. What makes it feel like Christmas for you?
When I see: icicles on the ledges of the creek by our house, a great big blanket of snow on the ground, my Christmas tree from the outside, and my kids in their Christmas pajamas.
When I make: hard tack candy and cutout cookies.
When I eat: cheesy potatoes, cranberry relish, pickle wraps, peanut butter buckeyes and hard tack candy.
When I watch: Elf, Miracle on 34th Street (the newer one with Richard Attenborough), Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Muppet Christmas Carol.
When I visit: with my husband's parents. When they come for the holiday, or when we go there, it feels like Christmas.
When I read: our Advent book.
When I sing or hear: Good King Wenceslas.
When I wear: Christmas earrings, big sweaters and long, long scarves.
When I go: caroling, which we did this past week and will do at least two more times this year, and also when I go to one of the choir's holiday concerts. All of the poinsettias and children dressed in black and white with their red suspenders and bow ties.
When I feel: like I have all of my shopping done and all the presents wrapped, when all my ducks are in a row.
