My Favorite Things: Christmas 2008

10. Jon and Kate Plus 8- Any episode- I feel motherhood just came back. I know she's rough on him but cut her a break and he holds his own so let up- it's working for them.

9. The song from TLC commercial (featuring Jon and Kate and other Family reality shows) "Beautiful Life", Fisher. It makes me happy.

8. Planning Christmas presents. It truly gets me giddy.

7. My mitten/gloves. They are two in one and long awaited for. Thank you Wal-Mart for making them and making them cost effective.

6. Anything featuring gift giving without the cost. This year America is being challenged to think creatively and the ideas are awesome. Creativity is in baby!

5. Band-Aid, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" It fuels me when I do the Toy-Give-Away, it's as close as we can get here in Alabama. And I am pretty sure God is smiling on it.

4. Genius Sidebar, iTunes. If you love music you will so love this. I am fascinated, it's pure genius.

3. Christmas movies! I can't wait to see the following:

Yes Man
Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons
Marley and Me
Bedtime Stories
Tale of Despereaux

Mark and I saw "Four Christmas's" already and let me say, "I laughed, I cried..." it's worth it.

2. My kids' ages. They are at some really fun places this year. It's pretty awesome when you truly look forward to spending one on one time with your kids because you like who they are and think they are neat. I would choose them if they weren't given to me. I am sure of it.

1. Home. I didn't know what I was going to put here until i got here. I can say my physical home and I have had some turbulence this year with the leaks and unmentionables :) but in the end i love this old house and the warmth that it has. But the home i feel when i get around my family has to top it all off. It would just be cold and old without them. I love them in a fierce way and everyday I hope to be learning more on how to be a better person at "family". God is gracious with me and has set me around so many families with awesome examples of love busting at the seams. It's a true blessing to have that "i'm home" feeling.
