christmas and me

in my past few years of blogging, i have enjoyed reading everyone's lists of their favourite christmas things. it's also been fun sharing some of my own favourites. i haven't seen many of those lists this year, but i'm going to continue my own tradition and write another one this year! mind, i haven't reread what i listed in the 2006 posting, so i'm curious to see if there are any similarities :-)

christmas songs --
christmas canon rock - trans-siberian orchestra
little drummer boy - the harry simeone chorale
christmas (w)rapping - the waitresses
grown up christmas list - amy grant
all i want for christmas - lisa layne/vince and the valiants (found this version while searching for the right link, so i get to share that one too just this once)


christmas movies and tv --
how the grinch stole christmas (the OLD one)
nutcracker ballet - baryshnikov
the bishop's wife
christmas in connecticut
it's a wonderful life


and the rest --
dunkin donuts hot chocolate with whipped cream
furry fuzzy pjs
christmas lights (fairy lights)

homemade santa advent calendars
chocolate chip cookies


plus it's nearly the yearly anniversary of my WSST blog at this address. around christmas time 2006 i moved from my origina WSS to here and added a too. . . and so i am still! :-)

SO what are a few of your favourite christmas things????
