Entry #10 Christmas

It's that time of year again.....

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. Not because I get stuff, But because I love being able to see the reactions on my son's and husband's face as they get what they wanted for the past year. 

I love the fact that we get to enjoy the day watching Christmas movies and eating junk....

Mostly I love being able to have another excuse to make brownies, cookies, and cupcakes, chocolates, etc.... This year since Nathaniel (my son) is getting big enough to understand the concept of helping me with cookie decorating I am thinking that this year will be the first year that we make gingerbread men, and a gingerbread house. I can wait to see the mess that we will make this year. 

Christmas in my house means the Family gets together to see what delicious foods I have made. I make Tamales, Posole, and a bunch of other foods that I don't really make all that often... We pig out, and when we are all too stuffed to do anything else..... 
We sit around and laugh and tell jokes, we play video games, we listen to music, and sometimes we even have a few drinks.... 

Christmas is 18 days away and counting. we usually stay up until midnight on Christmas eve and open up all the gifts then head to bed. When we wake up a few hours later we all enjoy each others company and also the gifts that were given to us.....
