Denise at Shorty Bear's Place, blessed me with this Christmas Spirit Award. We've just gotten to know one another through our blogs and she is a sweet person.

Thank you so much, Denise, for touching my heart. The rules are to tag someone with this award that I know loves Christmas, and has Christmas spirit. They must link back to my blog to indicate where they were tagged, and they need to add 1 to 45 reasons why they love Christmas. So here goes!

Why I love Christmas:

1. I get to celebrate and remember the birth of my dear Saviour, the Lord Jesus.

2. The sights and sounds of Christmas just seem to make the world a better place.

3. It is the one time of the year that all of my family gathers together and we have such a wonderful time. I get to see all of my precious great-nieces and nephews that I sometimes don't see except at Christmas.

4. I love the lights and decorations here at home especially when it is snowing and cold outside like it has been this year, since the beginning of November!!! Oh, but the house feels so cozy and warm and delightful!

5. The food. And the food. Oh, and did I say I looooove the holiday food!?!?!?!

Now, I take great pleasure in tagging the following people: Sis. Elms, Barbara, Sis. Smith, Sis. Hurst, AND Theresa!
