The Santa List

yesterday while out with Frodo 

I'm in a list making kind of mood and so I give you the Santa List:

Nice:

-hot tea in my Christmas mug every single day in December
-my chocolate chip cookies
-having both children home
-the new dog groomer that Frodo LOVES (and so do I)
-Amanda's writing prompts-you can find them here, every morning I write one page in my notebook.
-real life friends and friends I've met through this blog
-wrapped and ready for the big day
-my simple lace knitting-I can easily pick it up and put it down and it's lace weight
-Christmas movie time
-cooking for four people
-being excited about a few surprise gifts for my family
-Brussel Sprouts and green beans, not together but both delicious
-my morning time alone in the quiet

Naughty:

-washing dishes for four people
-doing lots and lots of laundry
-the mess on the coffee table
-those cookies that I love, restraint is so difficult.
-where are the left overs???  having to cook every single day
-car repairs (dead battery)


How about you?  have you a naughty or nice list during these days before Christmas??

  1. I love your lists, especially because mine would be almost exactly the same! Younger Son is home and I pick up Older Son at the airport late today. Tonight I'm going to savor that wonderful feeling of having everyone home under the same roof; tomorrow I'll start sighing about all the laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking. Also, your winter photos are gorgeous!

  2. That's a great list - except for the brussel sprouts, that's the one vegetable I am not crazy about.

  14. Fresh, beautiful snow! It's the best. Hot, spicy sweet tea with biscotti... definitely on my good list right now. Almost diagnosed pinched nerve in my arm that is keeping me from almost everything I want to do... top of the naught list.
