15 Things I Love About Christmas

Visit Rasberri Cupcakes food blog for these holiday recipes

Christmas comes only once a year and this Christmas we are spending it with my side of the family. My family lives more or less about four hours from where we live. Our four hour journey didn't take exactly four hours due to the fact that I am now 32 weeks pregnant and having to pee almost every half hour, plus we had our little pup Lola with us in the car having to do the same thing. It all made for a bit of a fun adventure! 

With that said, I wanted to share a few favorite things I love about Christmas:

• Drinking Spiced Chai Tea
• Spending time with family
• Eating 'pampoen koekies' (pumpkin fritters)
• Opening presents
• Christmas shopping
• Decorating the Christmas tree
• Listening to Mariah Carey's Christmas album
• Reflecting on the year
• Phoning & texting family living overseas
• Catching up with friends far away
• Driving around the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights
• Going to a church service
• Winding down
• Baking
• Watching The Polar Express
