Christmas Christmas time is here, Time for love... time for cheer! I am totally stoked about Christmas! I can hardly wait. Christmas is by FAAAAR my fave holiday. I love it because of all the music and the cheer and the good deeds and the over all sentiment. Traditions for me include decorating a tree, Christmas carols/ music non stop. As a kid we used to go caroling. Now we make candy... pecan logs, turtles, chocolate covered cherries, and personal fave- Divinity! Tastes like heaven! Whit and I started a new tradition, making a gingerbread house. So excited for that. We are running behind schedule this year. I am embarrassed to even admit it actually, usually the tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving if not the day of! It's time to whip into shape, I and I declare today the day.
Since my father passed away, I have made it a point to spend Christmas with my mother and sister in Denver. My sis has 4 gorgeous children, two of which have birthdays surrounding Christmas. So it's nice to make the trip. We usually make tamales, and watch a new Christmas movie that comes out in theaters. We get together with family in Denver,and have a party. For Dinner we fry a turkey, sooooooooooooo yum! I leave in less than two weeks, and I can't wait. What are your holiday traditions?

My husband is practically begging to fry a turkey. "Can we? Can we?" I guess I'll have to let him have it one of these days!
