I grew up in an agnostic family so we never celebrated Christmas at all. In fact, my mother would call Santa the Red Underwear Man. I guess she forgot we would eventually grow up and know the truth. And I did. I grew up and found Christmas very enjoyable to celebrate. My father is Christian so I would go see him for Christmas every year. I loved seeing the lights, and the tree. It also gave me a great excuse to travel all the way to Dallas to see him.

This year I have two families to celebrate with. My mother in law and nana have awesome lights up, and the food at their house is delicious. I look forward to her cooking every holiday. She makes everything from scratch, and it tastes soooo good ! Plus I always look forward to having a cup of coffee with my dad Christmas morning. I love spending time with him, and I love to see how he is doing.

Of course I like getting stuff, but seeing as I usually never like what I get, it is the thought that counts.

I love being surrounded by my family. <3
