a few of my Christmas must haves

A real Christmas tree - check 
This is the first year in the last 4 years that we were able to put up a Christmas tree... and I freaking LOVE it!  Sometimes I will just go sit on the couch in the living room and admire the tree (and the smell).  Can't beat the smell of fresh pine. 

Hot Chocolate - check
My personal favorite is Stephen's Roasted Hazelnut.  Yum! I love to top off my glass of hot cocoa with a dash of milk.  Delish!

Home Alone - check  
We were even lucky enough to see it's sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
"KEVIN!"

Chocolate Orange - check
Love these frozen too.

White Elephant Gift Exchange - check
I had so so much fun at a white elephant Christmas party last week.  Laughed til my stomach hurt.  The gift I received isn't appropriate to share on the blog, but I can guarantee that I will be re-gifting it at our next white elephant party.  Oh the joys!!
Christmas Decorations - check
Complete with the soft glow of electric sex leg lamp.


Christmas Music - check
Nothing gets me more excited for Christmas than some great Christmas tunes!


Eggnog - check
My favorite way (and actually the only way) I like to drink eggnog is to mix half eggnog with half milk.  And it has to be super cold!


Christmas Lights - not checked yet
My neighborhood isn't too big on decorating with Christmas lights (except for my neighbor who has the bright blue icicle lights and 2 big blowup snowmen in their front yard), but otherwise, the Christmas lights are pretty sparse.  One of my favorite things to do at Christmastime when we lived in Utah was to drive around town and admire all of the pretty lights.  Hopefully I can do this one night while in Utah next week.    



What are some of your Christmas must haves?

  1. I have to watch christmas movies, love the tree- our house is so small I thought we would have to do without my tree this year but we moved stuff around and made it fit! I just love all the things this time of year.
