The ABC’s of Christmas
Angels Announcing Advent
Believe, absolutely Believe or you’ll get underwear
Cookies have no calories for Santa, but for you, there are
many; cards, sending & receiving
Deliver gifts that you would want to receive
Exclaim joy
Feed the child in you
Gingerbread houses need to be built
Holly
Insist on only the finest ingredients, such as pure vanilla in your baking
Jim jams - a new pair for Christmas Eve (pajamas)
Keep the reason for the season first & foremost
Lights, lots of them, inside & outside
Music & movies of Christmas, the old classical & the new
No naughty behaviour
Ornaments, lots on the tree & all about the house
Plants of the Christmas variety should be real, unless you
have cats/dogs
Quality chocolate at Christmas is a must
Reindeer, all 8 of them with the occasional extra red nosed
one
Sing, but not too loudly & try to know the words
Toys, donate one for a girl, one for a boy
Unwrapping of gifts, big or small
Visit Santa, write him a letter, tell him your deepest held wish
Weight gain is a probable side effect of Christmas
Xempt no one from merry making
Yule logs - simulated with a gas fireplace accepted
Zebras in a Santa hats DO make an acceptable festive ornament
Love this! I'm definitely following these, well some of them ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm going heavy on the warning about calories especially if I linger too long on the quality chocolates for the season!
DeleteNice! But I'd've had "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz" for the last one ... after Christmas dinner!
ReplyDeleteLady Ella I like the nap idea after Christmas dinner with the added part that the nap is for the cook, those that only ate, now clean up (col).
DeleteThanks Karen. I could do an entirely different ABC list.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you'd cope with Z - brilliant list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. Z was a hard one, but Lady Ella suggested zzz for a nap & I like that one.
DeleteClever post, but I would also have had Zzzzz instead of zebras!
ReplyDeleteOh to have some quality Zzzz's right now as I certainly feel like I've been kicked by that Zebra!
DeleteI like the idea of Zzzzzs - naps are a big part of our relaxing around at home time. What a great idea to do the alphabet too :)
ReplyDeleteI would so like an afternoon nap - I'm lacking in enough zzzz's for sure. I once did my Christmas album based on the alphabet, it was fun but challenging.
