Things I Love About December
* Getting a tree, wreath, poinsettas, mistletoe
* Decorating the house! I go all out!
* Decorating the tree with our annual Xmas ritual beginnng with a really nice Joe-cooked dinner (this year it's pheasant!) followed by champagne and chocolate during the trimming--It's a Wonderful Life playing in the background.
* The annual work party. There are only 7 of us in our location so we pick a nice restaurant and go out to eat. This year it's the Metropolitan Club.
* Buying a new holiday dress
* Our annual Holiday party!
* Christmas lights up in the neighborhoods
* Snowstorms on quiet nights, a fire in the fireplace with all the xmas lights on
* Getting Christmas cards
* Christmas carols! I'm so sappy....I have tons on my iPod and I listen to them all month long.
* Catching up with lots and lots of old friends.
* Finishing up the semester (this year as a professor, not a student!)
* Cookies and candy!!
* Eggnog!!
* Christmas Eve at my in-laws. They have all the relatives drop in over the course of the night--it's such a wonderful, fun, loving evening (where we invariably all drink a little too much)
