Merry Christmas

Well friends, I'm off to Greensboro to spend Christmas with the fam.  My car is literally overflowing, mama Jill is sooo demanding, I've done most of her Christmas shopping, so half the stuff in my car isn't really mine. I'm excited to start cooking all my dishes and sweet tea I've signed up for and nights by the fire pit with a delish glass of red wine.  I can't wait to celebrate my nephew's first Christmas and see all my extended family (all 60 of us will be together at my grandparents Christmas day).  

I have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas season, I am especially thankful for everyone in our military who can't be with their loved ones on Christmas.  Thank you for what you do for our great country and the sacrifices you and your family make.  Everyone should take a moment to find something they are thankful for.  I will be ringing the Salvation Army bell on Christmas Eve (a long time tradition with my dad), it is the perfect way to remember the meaning of Christmas and giving!

I hope everyone has the most wonderful, sparkly holiday!  I'm taking the rest of the week to chill and just be, so see you sometime after the Christmas week!  Enjoy an all time favorite Christmas song of mine Judy Garland, "Have Yourself a Merry Christmas."
