Meatball and I went to the Christmas in the Country craft show. We got each one of the boys an ornament. It has become a tradition. I don't even want to think about the day that I will have to box up those ornaments so they can put them on their tree. Luckily, I think I have a few years :) And we got a little name puzzle for Reid. They actually had his name so we had to buy it. It was a sign right? And then last night it snowed. I am so in the festivus spirit this year. Why not play a little Christmas music in the morning. I created a Christmas playlist on my ipod 3 years ago. Does anyone else feel like a total tool when they do this? It's the equivalent of making a mixed tape in the old days. But it has become a tradition for Meatball and I to have Christmas morning brunch at our house. And you know my feelings on awkwardness so a little background music is like social lubricant. It got me thinking how my tastes in Christmas music have changed over the years. Now don't get me wrong, I love a little Britney at Christmas time but she was never my favorite. My favorite Christmas song used to be "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon. Then it changed into "Holy Night". When sung by the right person that song gets me. However, at the ripe old age of 34 my new favorite Christmas song is "O Come All Ye Faithful". Can I recommend Sara Evans version to you. It is amazing.

And now for the song I hate the most. Feliz Navidad. I blame the Christmas Parties in high school. Those language teachers loved that crappy song and used to put it on repeat. It's their fault.
I can't wait to let Brady stay up and watch our favorite Christmas movies. Somehow our DVR deleted the Caillou Holiday Movie and Mickey's Christmas Carol. And Brady has already asked to watch both. So you know what DVD's Santa is bringing us. Thankfully, he settled on The Grinch. And every year Meatball and I watch National Lampoon's on Christmas Eve together with Hot Chocolate before we set up the tree. I feel I should be honest here. I have been pregnant the past 2 Christmas holidays so I have been asleep while Steve set-up the tree with gifts. He's better at it anyway!
