I think of myself as a Who definitely!! My house is smack dab in the Christmas spirit on the 20th of November. Why that date?? My parents created an unofficial rule that we cannot start Christmas or even mention it before November 19th because that is my birthday. Growing up we always got our tree on the first P.D day in December but since that P.D day no longer exists we had to change our date to the closest available date to December 6th. We got our tree on Sunday. Yes, that was the day it was raining cats and dogs but none the less my family donned our Santa hats and drove to Benjamin Tree Farm where we have been going since I was born. We hiked into the field of trees and cut down our tree. Strangely enough, the trees were not as tall as I remembered. Weird.... We then got hot apple cider and cookies in their "shop" at the edge of the property.
Speaking of cookies, that's another reason why I love Christmas. I am a Woolley so I much love cookies right?? Wrong, I love making cookies!! We make sugar cookies, whipped shortbread, chocolate chip, snowballs, rum balls, chocolate thumbprints, candy cane, vanilla iced, jam filled and many more. My Dad has a huge sweet tooth so we do a lot of baking around the Christmas season. It is also one of the only times during the school year that I have time to bake and cook!
Christmas season is also very special because we go to my parent's friends house for Christmas dinner. It is a tradition and is so important. The people who host the dinner are almost like my honourary aunt and uncle because they have watched Erich and I grow up. They now have a grandson who is amazing and we get to be like how their children were to us. I love them so much.
I also love Christmas because I get to sing and play my flute in Christmas choir at church. It is always beautiful and so fun. I am playing Pachelbel's Cannon, The First Noel, Angel We Have Heard On High, Joy To The World, and Helpless And Hungry at the service this year along with singing the rest of the classic Christmas songs. I love Christmas choir.
Overall, I am a huge Who. Oh, and when I was little I actually looked like Cindy Lou Who. No joke!!!
Tata class!!
