Hey, it’s October 5. What better subject to discuss than CHRISTMAS! I’d apologize, but all this cool weather just gets me giddy about CHRISTMAS.
Things I love about CHRISTMAS:
1. The Carpenter’s Christmas Portrait
2. Harry Conick JR’s When My Heart Finds Christmas
3. Christmas mass
4. Peppermint bark
5. Gingerbread houses (note to Maura: we really must do this old school graham cracker style this year)
6. Sugar cookies
7. Decorating the sugar cookies
8. Christmas movies such as Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, A Muppet’s Christmas Carol, Elf (soon to be a classic), Miracle on 34th Street, etc, etc.
9. Scarves
10. Mittens
11. My peacoat
12. Christmas lights
13. Driving around with Maura as she preaches to me about the proper use of Christmas lights, what is tacky, and what is classy
14. Christmas parades
15. Candy canes
16. Lil’ chocolate Santas
17. Foilage decorations
Alright, I think I’m done. Back to your regularly scheduled October.
