A List of Christmas Cheer

Usually I am very cheery this time of year. But I don't get to see anyone in the fam or friends from back home and my cousin just got deployed to Afghanistan. I am in a bit of a Scrooge kind of mood:( So, rather than being down, I am writing a list of ways to get my frown to turn upside down.

1. Have LOTS of dogs at my house this Christmas. I am half way there dog 5 arrives on Friday, the 22nd dog 6 arrives and who knows when General Lee will grace me with his presence.

2. Wear an different ugly Christmas sweater each week.

3. Put a costume of a reindeer on my car.

4. Blare Christmas music around my home, car, and office while singing loudly off key.

5. Wear a Santa hat and dance around my home to Christmas music.

6. Have a fire and roast marshmallows with choc. and graham crackers. mmmmm s'mores.

7. Go ice skating in 70 degree weather.

8. I also will be writing my Christmas cards over Christmas as they were just ordered.

9. Join the throng of people in the post office line to send my packages last minute and late.

Dressing up the dogs in Christmas outfits and taking pictures would also be on this list but Eric forbids me to do it.

Wow. I already feel so much more cheerful.
