Do Christmas movies get you into the spirit of Christmas? Most years, I put on an old VHS tape my mom made for me when I was little. It has Frosty the Snowman, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Garfield’s Christmas Special. Watching the commercials is just as much fun as watching the cartoons. Something about watching a good Christmas movie or cartoon gets me pumped for the holidays. So, to marry two of my favorite topics, I’ll tell you what my favorite Christmas movies have taught me about relationships! Perhaps one of the most … [Read more...]
What’s Your Most Beloved Christmas Eve Memory?
As a child, my favorite time of the year was Christmas. Not much has changed as Christmas is still my favorite time of the year. Part of what Eric and I loved about the house we bought when we were house hunting is that there were three big trees in the yard that looked like giant Christmas trees.

Eleven Compliments and Twelve Long Stemmed Roses (My True Love Gave to Me, Days 11 and 12)

Nine Special Pictures and Ten Personal Coupons (My True Love Gave to Me, Days 9 and 10)
On the Ninth Day of Christmas… Not everyone feels this way, but I LOVE looking through old photo albums. It’s especially fun looking through photo albums filled with black and white pictures while listening to a grandparent or special older person talk about where the pictures were taken, who is in them, and what was going on in their lives during the time of the picture. We have so many moments on this Earth that we would love to remember, but so often we don’t think about recording them. Maybe we think we’ll remember them all forever. One time, a friend and I made a list of over fifty … [Read more...]
