My Top Ten List- Why I Love Christmas

10. Wrapping Presents.. Kind of pathetic I know, but I actually like to wrap presents. I love how pretty they look in the end.

9. Christmas Cards...I love getting Christmas cards every day..I especially love ones with photos. I love to see every ones adorable families.

8. The Church Christmas Program... Every year it is wonderful. If you are not yet in the holiday spirit - you leave with the spirit overflowing.

7. Classic Christmas Specials... I love watching all the cute Christmas specials I watched as a kid with my children. It brings back so many memories of when I was a little girl.

6. My kids excitement for Santa... There is something so sweet and pure about my little ones excitement for Santa to come... Nick says something about it almost every single day- it is priceless.

5. Roberts' Family Party... Every year on the 23rd or 24th we have Bryan's family party- It is always loads of fun.. We have dinner. We play games.. Laugh way to hard and Santa ( Bryan's dad) always makes an appearance with a few gifts for the kids.

4. Christmas lights, decorations and music... I absolutely love Christmas decorations, they are beautiful. My favorites are the lights and nativity scenes. Christmas music is so beautiful. I love listening to it and singing along (scary with my voice). The Christmas Hymns are my favorites.

3. Christmas Stories about Our Savior, Jesus Christ... I love reading stories to my children that teach about the true meaning of Christmas. I hope they will remember to try to be like Jesus.

2. Grandparents... I am so grateful that Bryan and I both have parents that like to come over early on Christmas morning and watch the kids open their gifts and help us with any assembling that may be required. It is very special to have them come share in the excitement and fun, and start the day off with gratitude for family.

1. Watching my kids open their presents Christmas morning.... Santa spends a great deal of time getting just the right gifts for everyone and I love watching my kids reactions when they open them.
