Christmas time is awesome!!! After nearly 20 full days in the month of December - I think I have narrowed down the my favorite parts of the 2011 Christmas season thus far:
1. Cookie Exchanges - What an awesome idea! Get all of your friends to make cookies, hang out, trade cookies, leave with soooo many different kinds of yummy cookies! It is so easy - I think that cookie exchanges should occur once a month as a way to restock the cookie jar :)
2. Work Gifts - It seems like everyday at work another client, subcontractor, or company is bringing gifts to the office. Most of the times these gifts come in the form of food! On Monday ham biscuits and donuts were dropped off as a morning snack :) We have a card table in the lobby at work that is overflowing with scrumptious sweets, cheeses, and crackers. It is this time of the year when I'm grateful that I do not work for the government!!! (It is unethical for them to accept gifts).
3. Vacation - No school, 'nuf said.
4. Christmas lights - they make me happy. I think a squirrel tampered with the ones we have on our roof because they no longer work...squirrel - 1 bryan and nicole - 0
5. Tacky Christmas sweaters - Sadly, I do not own a tacky christmas sweater, but I have see a great many of them wandering around Nashville this season and I love it! Even though my wardrobe is missing this vital article of clothing, I have been seen cruising around Music City wearing red shoes, green pants, a red shirt, and a green spring-like santa hat. I know, not nearly as cool as a tacky christmas sweater but I gotta work with what I've got.
