25 Days of Christmas: Days 1 and 2

Hard to believe it's less than 25 days 'till Christmas!! I don't know about you, but this past year definitely flew by for me! Craziness happens...it's unavoidable. But Christmas is one of those holidays when you just want to forget all your problems and focus on all the good things that are happening and think about all the good memories you've had in your past. Some years are harder than other...I know for me this is already turning out to be a difficult holiday season, but I'm going to push past all the nasty stuff and try and focus on the good!!

Last year I tried to do a photo countdown for Christmas, and I kinda wanted to do the same thing again this year. Not sure how it's going to pan out...I already had one picked, but I missed the first day! It's ok, though...because I'm making up for it!! Aaaaaand...I'm also doing something extra!! Along with the picture every day, I'm going to answer a "Christmas question" and maybe tell a little Christmasy story behind the answer. I think it would be awesome if you answered too...jus' sayin' ;)

So here goes nothin'!!

Christmas photo #1: Ugly Christmas Sweater

I don't really have any ugly sweaters, so I had to go digging through some of my old clothes to find this one. It's not really ugly, I guess...but if you know anything about me, you know that I do NOT like the fat turtleneck sweaters!! I used to love them when I was younger, but NOT anymore!! Not cool..so this was the best I could do :P

Christmas Question #1: Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree??

We are BIG wrappers in my family!! I love wrapping gifts, and so does everyone else in my family...we like to see the colored paper and crazy ribbon under the tree on Christmas morning. Plus, who doesn't like anticipation and surprise?! I sure do :) I think the only time we didn't have a present wrapped was when someone got a bike or a fish or a hamster...or something along those lines. I'm pretty sure the year I got my unicycle it wasn't wrapped. But honestly, I didn't mind...it was AMAZING anyway!! 

So there's day one!! Technically I should have done that yesterday, but I didn't get around to it, so I'll do Day 1 and Day 2 today! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up until Christmas :D

Christmas Photo #2: favorite mug

Ok....this one is A DOUBLE!! WOOHOOO!! Because...

Christmas question #2: Eggnog or Hot Chocolate?? 

I answered both questions in ONE PICTURE!! My favorite drink is in my right hand, 

and my favorite mug is in my left hand. HA!! Try and figure that one out ;)

So I guess I'm caught up for the day! Tomorrow I'll have more!! I'm actually pretty excited about this. I know I don't write on this blog as much as I wish I did, but something about Christmas makes me want to write on it more. Don't ask me why...maybe it's because I had so much fun doing it last year!

If you guys have any pictures or answers to contribute, I'd love to see/hear them! I like people communicating with me. Makes me feel like I exist.

Happy December 2nd!!
