here's to the christmas season.

I love Christmas. The whole season is lots of fun, and it helps that I love winter also! To help get you all in the spirit (if you aren't already), here are some of my favorite things about the holiday...

decorations.
Lights, trees, sparkles, red, gold, green, everything! We have a huge supply of decorations at my house and put them up every year. Here are some of the things we put up every year...


thanks to my little sister for the last three pictures (:

snow.
I realize how cold it is, but everything's just so pretty covered in a blanket of the glittering white flakes.

family time.
For some reason, my family seems to get along a little more around the holidays, and I enjoy spending time with them.

holiday baking. ♥
And finally, my favorite thing to do during break: baking. We make tons of stuff, including the traditional Christmas cookies, caramels, shortbread, monster cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, buckeyes,  caramel delights, white chocolate Chex mix, and other things we stumble upon that sound good for the holidays. Tupperware, tins, trays, and bowls full of unhealthy things that taste so delicious.  There's one time of the year that all of these things are made at one time, and it's so much fun. I love baking, so it's just a great time to make memories with my mother and sisters in the kitchen. 

These are some of my favorite things about the holidays. What about you? Comment, follow, or leave suggestions. Thanks for reading! 
Have a great holiday season. 
XOXO, liv.
