write:
write about a specific holiday song that has meaning to you.

i love christmas music. i have a playlist on my iPod of 168 christmas songs. but surprisingly, there isn't one that has some significant meaning to me. there are plenty that i love (ok, tons and tons and tons that i love). some make me laugh and smile, other makes me cry. but none of them have special meaning outside of the obvious lyrics.

photograph:
something that reminds you of your favorite holiday song

the first song that popped into my head when i read this prompt was "sleigh ride". it's not necessarily my all-time favorite - i have plenty of favorites. but it's a fun song and i really enjoy debbie gibson's version (go ahead...laugh). Random note: this sleigh sits on the table in our foyer and holds our christmas cards as they roll in.

do:
visit santa clause

this morning we took spencer and coleman to a christmas event that matt's work does. they took a photo with santa and each got a gift. it was a really nice thing for his company to do. spencer got a wal-mart gift card for $20 and for coleman we chose a musical toy that he's really enjoyed. coleman, however, did not do so well on santa's lap.

make:
matt made chili and we watched the sec championship game.

remember:
recall a specific instance where you sang or listened to your favorite holiday song. what stands out in your mind?

i don't have any more to offer here than i did above. i listen to christmas music the entire season every year. love it. i do remember caroling once when i was in my college sorority. that was a lot of fun. our neighborhood is doing caroling next weekend and i'm looking forward to that.
