It's Begining to Look a lot Like Christmas!

The Sanford house is in Christmas mode. Tom and I have had a lot of fun beginning our collection of Christmas decorations and establishing our own Christmas traditions.

So far we have...

• Peppmermint ice cream - have it. eat it. it puts you in the holiday mood. 
• Christopher Elbow hot chocolate - if you haven't tried it, it's a must. Christmas explosion in your mouth. 
• National Lampoons Christmas vacation - watched it, along with 2341 other cheezy Christmas movies leading up to Christmas.  
• Church- going to church during Advent is the best! Especially with the gorgeous decorations at Old Mission. 
• Decorating - We are collecting lots of cute, rustic, Christmas decor for our home. Must decorate while listening to Christmas music. 
• Holiday homes tour - there are so many awesome tours in KC. This year we are going on the KKG Holiday Homes tour. It's going to be amazing. 
• Emmet Otters Jugband Christmas- One of Tom's holiday traditions from when he was younger that we have kept going. 
• Christmas lights - there are some serious Christmas light enthusiasts in Kansas City. Anyone have a favorite neighborhood?
