The holidays are finally approaching! This is ALWAYS my favorite time of the year simply because I enjoy family time, warm drinks, cool weather, fun fashion styles, sweets (but that is quite the norm for me), Christmas music, and so much more! Let's face it, I'm a holiday person...quite a bit. Something about seeing Christmas lights, decorations, and smelling the aromas of coffee and baked goods makes my heart feel full and warm.

I think this time of year is perfect to go out and find some fun things to do! Personally, I love seeing Christmas lights, shopping for gifts, enjoying a warm lunch, or even enjoying a coffee date with friends. Spending time with family is also something I enjoy doing as well. Sharing laughs, hugs, and smiles always soothes my soul. You can always find things to be thankful for when it comes to family and being with them.

Something I keep telling myself is that when I have my own house it will probably look like the north pole and I am totally okay with that. Decorating is a must. If I don't get to do it I will go crazy. Period.

Oh and let's not forget about snuggling up with a cozy blanket and watching Christmas movies when it is too chilly to go out and about! One movie I am really excited to watch this year is Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors which will be on NBC at 9/8c, November 30th. If you love her as much as I do, you won't want to miss this heartwarming movie based on her childhood!

There are so many fun activities you can do during the holidays and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I honestly could go on and on about the things I love during this time of year. If I did, this article would probably be twenty pages long. So for your benefit I shortened it to about one page. Please know this was not easy for this crazy holiday lovin' gal. If you love the holidays like me, then you will understand this. Anyway, enjoy these times with family and friends and make the most of it.
