I love Christmas! On the day after Thanksgiving, the first thing I do when I wake up is put on some Christmas music and decorate. Then every morning after that I put on music, light a delicious smelling candle, turn on only the tree lights and sit and enjoy. I love everything that comes with Christmas, even crowds, last minute shopping and baking, baking and more baking. I love all the fun family traditions. We are making an effort this year to start our own. This will be the very first year EVER that I have been away from home on Christmas. I will be OK-right? There will be a Pie and Pajama night, a gingerbread house decorating night, a live nativity night, a couples Christmas party, and even a Christmas eve dinner and program-I think. How about sledding in the mountains, and Christmas stories each night. Sometimes, when Carter is gone, I'll pop the kids in the car and we will go out scouting "temple squarish" lights, stop for hot chocolate, and sing Christmas tunes at the top of our lungs. So far I am ahead of the Christmas rush, but we all know that could change dramatically. We are officially decorated, and the Christmas card is written, not sent, but written, and we have already watched a plethora of cheesy Hallmark Christmas dramas. Next on the to do list: candy making and present wrapping. Did I mention how much I love this holiday? I would love to know what all of your favorite Christmas traditions are, so leave a comment and help us fill our holiday with new traditions.

Oh how fun! I wish I could be there doing all these fun traditions with you and your sweet family. I really really love your tree, it is so dang cute. Oh and your lights, Cart did a splendid job!! I love everything about Christmas too, and you just reminded me to get going on Christmas cards so thanks. I love you and miss you all.
Wow your tree is beautiful, like always. We pretty much do the same stuff, christmas books, hot chocolate of course, christmas cookies. We also want to start some of our own traditions, but sometimes I think that me kids dont really care as much as I do. Because they are still young, but I still do them for me mostly. Thanks for the other good ideas, sorry I dont have one for you. Happy Holidays!!!

Lori- I wanted the same thing, when you upload the photo you can choose the size of the picture,(small) and the border I had to change my template. Which I don't love, what about a cute header. How can I do that?
