Christmas #15

15. Things I'm going to miss this year

• Laughing with the family about the Covenant Pastor once comparing Jesus to Santa and wondering if he meant Jesus would come down the chimney.


• Sour Cream Twists for breakfast on Christmas morning


• Waking up at the crack of dawn to open our Stockings and then going back to bed


• Being with my family


• All the fun pictures in front of the tree on Christmas Eve


• Getting all dressed up to sit around the house and wonder why there isn't football on TV


• Asking every other second if we can open "just one" present before dinner


• Getting scolded for touching and shaking presents


• The ever-present plate of goodies


• Lefse, bon-bons, Jolene's Christmas Mouse things and pretzel sticks, fudge, krumkaka, and coconut balls (that I didn't make myself)


• Snow and sledding


• The little Christmas pieces from the kids (who might be getting too old for it anyway)
