I was Hit in the back of the head....with some Christmas Spirit

Cindy over at The Grass Can Be Greener....lobbed it at me like the professional Snow Ball thrower that she is.....but I couldn't be more thrilled....at least there isn't any cold wet stuff dripping down my back this time...

Hey...I get to Post Twice in One Day....since I obviously can't get enough of my own writing skills....ahem....

Sooooo.....Thank you so much for the Christmas Spirit Award...I am feeling awfully Cheery and Festive today I must say....

So because I'm horrible at reading directions....I have to re-read oh 3 times before I get it right...so here goes...

Merry Christmas

Piece o' Cake....Fruit Cake to be exact....

Thing 1).....Christmas Candle Smells.....I adore the cinnamon, clove, evergreen and tinsle smells...and yes...Tinsle DOES have a smell.....I think.....I could smell them all year....and I do...but at least at Christmas I don't feel dumb doing it....

Thing 2)....Christmas Songs......Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole.....Church Choirs...and the little bundled up munchkins who come and knock on the door singing an interesting but thoroughly enjoyable rendition of Jingle Bells....

Thing 3)....Christmas Lights....Yes I freely admit I am one of the thousands of people that the rest of the world hates...who drive by at a snails pace to check out your Christmas lights....sometimes I drive by twice...just to make sure I've taken it all in.....

Thing 4)....Holiday Goodies....I L-O-V-E holiday baking.....I used to be so excited when my employees would bring me cookies and cakes and brownies....Carbs you say??? Who Cares....it's Christmas...let me waste my New Years resolution on trying to lose those holdiay pounds....it is OH so worth it...

Thing 5).....Others being in the Holiday mood......Yep...that's it....I love others to say Happy Holidays...or Merry Christmas....when everyone is feeling kind and generous....(of course somehow the salespeople and waitstaff get jipped)....but I like the sense of togetherness and love....

Thing 6)....and Most importantly......Jesus's Birthday.....That is the whole reason we should be celebrating....I agree Santa is pretty hard to ignore...I mean a Big overweight man in a Big Red suit...and a loud voice....but I think Jesus has his number.....

So now I"m going to Lob this award at a few more of my bloggy buddies....

1) Jody over at Team Cooper

2)Aubrey over at The Fam Five

3)Corrie at Sugarbug Baby

4) R.I.L Over at Ritch In Love
