Day 26: 5 Things I'm Afraid Of

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am absolutely terrified of spiders. I cannot even look at them in books or on TV. It's quite ridiculous but I can't help it. It's just not natural to have 8 furry legs! Ewwww! 

I also have this stupid fear of clusters/small holes. It's called typhophobia. There is an actual term for it. Google it! The thought of it makes me shiver and feel itchy! 

Jack In The Boxes are another. I know... I'm weird! But you never know when that stupid freaky puppet is going to pop out! 

Dolls- not all dolls but the old creepy ones that my grandma used to try to get me to play with. Uh, no thank you! 

I really can't think of a 5th but my 4 are pretty stupid so hope that makes up for it! 

There will be no pictures in this post because I am too creeped out by all of these things to even look at pictures to attach. Sorry! 

Day 25: My Favorite Things About Christmas

What is not to love about Christmas? There is family, food, presents, food, decorations, food, most people are in a great loving mood, and food!!!!

Honestly before I had kids, I could have been okay without even celebrating Christmas if it weren't for breaking my poor mother's heart. But then I had children of my own and then I completely understood where she was coming from. The feeling of seeing your children so excited and happy is just such a great feeling that I cannot describe. The magic of Christmas is just that.... MAGIC!

So here are my very favorite things about Christmas in no particular order at all.

Being with my family. I love my family! I have been blessed with a pretty awesome one!!!! This year was tough being that it was the first Christmas of my life without my father and I miss him so much!

Christmas Eve with my kids. Making reindeer food, Santa cookies, snuggling up on the couch to watch The Elf on the Shelf.

The wonderful feeling of everyone being just a little bit more thankful than before.

Watching everyone open their presents and seeing their expression.

Seeing my kids look at what Santa brought them in disbelief!

Merry Christmas from Us!
