It's not raindrops on roses, but it'll do.
These are some things I love at this time of the year.
1. Cold mornings and crunchy leaves with frost around the edges.
2. Hot, hot coffee and crispy buttered toast.
3. Preschool Christmas programs--fine family fun. Hilarious and heart-warming.
4. Staying in bed an extra 10 minutes...or more...all snuggled up under the warm covers.
5. "Oh, Holy Night." Most beautiful Christmas song ever.
6. A cat snoozing on the windowsill, soaking up the pale winter sunshine.
7. Sparkling Christmas lights on dark, quiet streets.
8. A 2-year-old shouting "Gorgeous!" when she sees said sparkling Christmas lights.
9. Chai tea spiked with eggnog. A new, unexpected holiday favorite. (thanks, Meg).
10. Opening up the mailbox every day to find actual Christmas cards and letters from friends and family scattered far and wide.
What are your December favorite things?

Please notice how Lucy, on the left, is standing there all demure and perfectly still, while her little buddy in the striped sweater is dancing and swaying his heart out. He did this throughout every song. It was awesome.

Very nice.
I'll say...
Children's anticipation of Christmas.
Advent reading and devotions every night (well, almost every night).
Beautiful snow all around.
Christmas songs!
O' Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song too!
And I get a 'PRETTY' from my two year old. And love it every time he sees lights.
