Hello my name is Emily and i am a Christmas-aholic.

I have a Christmas fetish... ever since i was a little girl i have been so excited to put up the Christmas decorations, crank up the tunes, sit by the fire with my hot cocoa and watch good 'ol saint nick star in my favorite Christmas shows. Its not so much about the shopping and gifts, but rather the joy and fun memories of the time of year i just love... i got out all my Christmas decorations the other day, put them all up, sat on the couch and then decided that it was too early to get them out! Yes seriously. The point of this little story? Well i realized that even though i love Christmas, i can't forget one of the other most important holiday's of the year! Which is why i am writing some of the things i am thankful for in the spirit of Thanksgiving...

A tight knit family
Friends to laugh with
Sweet puppy who wakes me up with kisses
A kind and loving husband - and best friend
The occasional happy customer at work
2nd chances
Lazy Days
The beauty of the first snowfall
A living prophet
Hot chocolate on cold mornings
My education
Amazing parents and brother
Long walks with my boys
Gilmore girls
My bed and a roof over my head

I am excited for turkey day and spending time with the ones i love. I may have a Christmas problem... but the first step is admitting it right?

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
