Santa Baby Year

16 years ago

by Loralee Lewis

Is it wrong to listen to Christmas music in October? If so, arrest me. Bing Crosby has me wrapped around his little finger this Halloween. Every holiday season, I am either hit or miss with giddy-ness over the upcoming celebrations. Some years, I don’t want to hear a single jingle bell until December 1st. Other years, I am rocking out to Santa Baby the day before Halloween. This is definitely one of the Santa Baby years. I am completely in full-on planning mode for the Holiday season. I am so excited about the traditions I am going to begin for my little family. I think it is of utmost importance for Ethan & Vienna to have a strong family identity and I don’t think there is a better time to begin lasting loving family moments than during the holidays. So no surprises if you stop by my home and see me dancing with my skeleton to Let It Snow! No need to call the authorities. It’s just a Santa Baby year!

P.S. I’ll share some of my favorite holiday ideas as the season continues. Leave me a comment of some of your favorite family traditions and memories! My best traditions have come from others and I love all the help I can get!
