What an incredibly busy last few weeks! I feel like my blogging has fallen off and I am not inspired enough to write posts to cover the days I’m too busy! I could definitely use some blogging ideas so I decided to join this Christmas link up from The Blended Blog
1. Real tree! I love the smell of pine, picking out my own tree and then bringing it home to decorate. I usually pick a small 3 ft tree but the roomie convinced me to do a 5ft this year!
2. Favorite Christmas Cookie: I make these delicious Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies every year and everyone loves them!
3. Mom’s House! I usually spend the night at my mom or sisters(whoever is hosting) and wake up for presents, breakfast and a movie. I love not having to get up and go anywhere.
4. Colored & Clear Lights! I like clear on my tree and colored everywhere else in the house!
5. I love to send Christmas cards! I am probably the only one of my friends without children that does but I don’t care!
6. Favorite Present…hmmm I think that my favorite so far has been the Kitchenaid mixer I received. I use it so much and it makes me so happy because its Pink!
7. Favorite Present Given…I think this year’s Craft Beer Advent Calendar will be my favorite. He loves it and I really enjoyed making it!
8. Stockings! For sure, we each have one and usually its something like candy or a gag gift that goes in them.
9. Christmas PJ’s all the way! We actually do a Pajama Christmas now so we all wear some fun pjs for Christmas Eve.
10. Christmas Carols...I like silent night, I think its so pretty and its one of the more quiet ones!
11. Favorite Holiday tradition...I love going trying to catch the holiday train, figuring out when its going to be by my house and when I can catch it is fun for me.
12. Early & Last Minute! I am great about starting early for the majority of my list but then I always leave one or two people until the very end because I shop better when I am rushing.
13. Favorite Christmas movie...Home Alone. Always and forever. I have lots of other honorable mentions, Nothing like the holidays, Nightmare before Christmas, Die Hard
14. Favorite Holiday Drink…I love Coquito! It is a puerto rican version of egg nog but really.
15. Cookies & Milk…we do leave milk & cookies for santa but we always leave lactaid!
A Kitchenaid stand mixer is truly a great gift!
Happy Holidays,
Patty

I forgot about Home Alone! So good and the first was the BEST!
I need to try those Andes cookies. We all love chocolate mint treats!
