What I'm Lovin' This Christmas Season

• Christmas music. Now that it's officially past Thanksgiving I don't have to feel guilty about listening to it. Brian and I try to add one new Christmas CD to our collection every year. This year Harry Connick Jr. won out because he was on sale at Target. Tony Bennett and Josh Groban took a close second. What do you think? Did I make a mistake? I still have the receipt.
  
  
• Watching all the old Christmas TV movies with William who is actually interested this year. So far we've only watched The Grinch. William thinks the Grinch is Sam-I-Am. At least he knows a Dr. Suess when he sees one. I've also got the DVR set up to record Rudolph, Frosty and the old Mickey Mouse A Christmas Carol. Oh, and I can't forget my personal favorite, A Charlie Brown Christmas.
  
  
• Getting my Caribou coffee in those holiday cups. Doesn't the coffee just taste better in those cheery green and red twinkling cups? You know it does. I suppose I could have added one more item to "What I'm Thankful for this Thanksgiving." And that would be that my morning sickness didn't coincide with those cute little coffee cups. Can you imagine not wanting a hot cup of a peppermint mocha latte during Christmas? It would have been a travesty.
  
  
• All the seasonal scents of Yankee candles. In case you haven't heard, Yankee candles are the best candles ever. Just remember this when you get wide-eyed at the price tag. But I'm telling you. If you're in need of a candle that lasts until the last wax has melted and one which keeps on fragranting your whole house with Pumpkin Spice goodness (that's the one I got) than this is the candle for you. If you're not quite ready to commit your check book to a Yankee try the Glade candle in Apple Cinnamon. Smells just as good, just doesn't last as long.
