The Christmas Bucket List

December 1, 2013 by not your average mom 13 Comments

I hate winter. But I love Christmas. I love the lights. I love the tree. I love the smell of pine needles. The feel of the fireplace. I love Gene Autry, Bing Crosby and David Bowie, Mariah Carey, and Harry Connick Jr. I love Rudolph and March of the Wooden Soldiers and It’s a Wonderful […]
