O.K. We have had our chance to vent about our holiday frustrations. To prove that I really am not much of a scrooge, I would like to start a thread to help get me in the holiday spirit.
Things that show me the holiday spirit and bring a smile to my face and heart:
Music - all types especially Celtic and sleighbells
Kid's faces - expectations, wonder, surprise, excitement
Movies - Lots of different ones - humorous, serious, inspirational
Concerts - When a Christmas one comes to town
Activities with the kids - like gingerbread house workshop and cookie decorating.
Red Kettles - I love how difficult child asks for change to give to every single kettle he comes in contact with.
Angel Tree - I love seeing communities come together to support our less fortunate children. All kids should have special gifts on Christmas.
See, I have the start of getting rid of my scroogy attitude. Help me scrunch it by sharing your favorite part of Christmas.
