10 Little Things I Love About the Holidays

1. Watching “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” for the thousandth time and still hoping the other reindeer won’t make fun of him
2. Buying our Christmas tree while wearing shorts and T-shirts
3. Rock star versions of classic Christmas songs, especially anything Bono
4. The smell of a fireplace on “chilly” evenings in South Florida (You know… when it gets all the way down below 68 degrees.)
5. Toasting the New Year with colleagues that I usually just talk business with
6. Knowing baseball season is only four months away
7. Looking at photos of the kids’ first Christmases with my husband
8. Listening to Mikaela’s holiday karaoke
9. Going to school with Connor for his holiday feast
10. Delanie suggesting that we adopt “the little drummer boy”
