1) Hearing the Christmas story
2) Looking at Christmas lights
3) Snuggling in a blanket with my sweetie
4) Sharing Christmas goodies with friends
5) Watching those I love open their gifts
Hate
1) Ba humbug spirit (this is a no Grinch zone)
2) Long lines when you just need 1 thing
3) Mall traffic (I live by the mall so it is irritating)
4) Selfish "gimme" attitude
5) Forgetting the reason for the season- JESUS
What are your 10 Christmas things?
Luke 2: 9-14
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

Saddened by:
1. Our culture's marginalizing of Christmas and its true meaning and purpose.
2. People who are hurting, depressed, or facing financial hardships at Christmastime.
3. Christmas reduced to commercialiam.
4. Anyone who has not yet received the gift of salvation Jesus came to make possible.
5. Thoughts of servicemen and women who can't be home for the hoidays.
I agree Jan! These are good!
