Enjoying the holiday season

One of my favorite things about the Christmas holidays are the homes decorated with Christmas lights.




 I enjoy nothing more than just viewing how people have decorate their homes. I'm like a little kid again and it has a calming effect. I generally really can't relax enough to do this though until after Christmas is actually over here lately. I will make a point to start trying to make time for this event earlier this year. This house is really over the top. I would never decorate my house like this, mainly because I don't know how, I but sure enjoy looking at.  I even make the kids go kicking and screaming all the way. I make them put down all their devices and gadgets and really take in some of the holiday spirit. I love a beautifully decorated neighborhood.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRN7oN4XGKU



 
Another thing I enjoy and look forward to doing every year is our escapade of going to cut down to our own Christmas tree. From when I was a kid, my parents would take us out on a tree farm and we would pretend to be lumberjacks and cut down our own tree. We still do until this with most of our extended family,  in-laws, and a few close family friends. We dress up like we are going to the  North Pole and my mom cooks a breakfast feast and invites everyone she ever met in life to come. It's great!
