Christmas Favorites



Here are my favorites

Christmas Songs:  “Carol of the Bells” – any version will do; “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby; “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” by Bruce Springsteen; “Tennessee Christmas” by Amy Grant

Christmas Movies: “The Santa Clause Series” with Tim Allen; “A Christmas Carol”

Christmas Events: “Magical Night of Lights at Lake Lanier”; “Stone Mountain Christmas”; “Enchanted Garden of Lights at Rock City” -  I really want to go this year!

Family Favorite Tradition:  We pick a night, get in our comfy clothes, grab some snacks and drinks and drive around the city looking at all the Christmas lights.  We have our favorite houses and neighborhoods.  We sing songs in the car and have a great time.

Favorite commercial:  By Hershey’s kisses – the one where the kisses play “We wish you a Merry Christmas”.  That one never gets old for me.   When I was a little girl, I remember a commercial for a men’s razor that turned into a sleigh and had a snowman on it – I thought that one was so much fun. 

I love being Mrs. Claus!  Even though the kids have known and understood the spirit of Santa for several years now, me and Mr. Claus still go out together and have a great time shopping, wrapping and giving the kids and family their gifts.

Being with family and friends is the ultimate!  I love all the get-togethers and parties.

On the other side, there is one song at Christmas time that I loathe.  My husband and kids LOVE it when it comes on the radio – they enjoy watching how fast I try to change the channel.  I, on the other hand, drive them bananas by singing, “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”.  Let the laughs begin – or not…

Coming soon … my favorite Christmas memories.

What are your favorite movies, songs or events you enjoy every year?
