Merry & Bright

Can you believe Christmas is here! I’m telling you the little girl in me always gets anxious as Christmas day arrives. I must admit that I also go to bed early on Christmas eve just in case Santa stops by and I don’t want him spitting any coal in my eye (haha, thanks mom)! Today I’m sharing a few reasons why I love Christmas time, including my top 10 Christmas songs and movies! Let me know in the comments what are some things you love about Christmas time.

Why I love the Holiday Season

• All the magic and wonder the season it brings, sometimes you don’t even have to look for it.
• The Christmas music
• All of the Hallmark and Lifetime Movies
• The food, merry snacks, and drinks!
• Laughter and joy that the Holiday season it brings
• An opportunity to start a new tradition or revisit old traditions
• Christmas through a little child’s eyes is the best thing ever!
• Finding ways to give back to others or your community
• Gifting the best gifts and seeing the expressions on others faces
• The gatherings (although this year is totally different with everyone staying home)
• Celebrating the birth of our Savior
• Christmas decor everywhere
• Decorating the Christmas tree
