What a Christmas

Christmas has come and gone, and can you tell from the above picture that my kids thoroughly enjoyed the holiday?  They are super blessed because they are the only grandchildren so far on both sides and they are extremely loved by both sides.  I am very grateful for my family and my in-laws for their generosity and love towards our children.

We opened gifts Christmas morning, under our fake Christmas tree with the lopsided star (time for a new tree maybe next year), and then headed to Christmas service at our church that morning where my son delivered an extremely sub-par performance of "Jingle Bell Rock." That sounds mean, but the kid was front and center in the group of kids and he literally did nothing.  Still cute though.

Now, my daughter and I are battling a nasty cold/flu, but life is good and we are blessed.  

Here's the winner of the $15 store credit to Revolving Kids Vintage:

Congrats to Agnieszka!  I will be in contact with you shortly!

The last giveaway will be announced tomorrow, so stay tuned!  Thanks to everyone who entered and hope everyone else had  Merry Christmas!  Looking forward to the new year!

Top 5 Favorite Christmas Songs

I love the time after Thanksgiving because KOST 103.5 plays Christmas music 24/7 and my family whips out its cds of Christmas music, also.  I wouldn't mind listening to these prior to Thanksgiving but my husband insists that it is a sin to listen to Christmas carols before Thanksgiving, so we have to wait.  Anyhow, here is my silly list of my 5 favorites, starting with number 1!  What are your favorites?

1. Mariah Carey- "O Holy Night"

Nobody sings this song like her! 

2. Dean Martin- Baby It's Cold Outside

Just a still image, but love this song!

3.  NSYNC- Merry Christmas Happy Holidays

A classic, right? I have it on cassette tape somewhere. By the way, used to have the hugest crush on JT.  Not so much anymore.

4. Andy Williams- "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

You know, the one that's loud and plays in all department stores and is really happy! Love it!

5.  Nat King Cole- "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"

Nobody sings it smoother than him!
