12 Days of Christmas: Day 8-11

Day 8: Least favorite thing about the Holidays

When my cat decides that the tree is a play house and decides to climb up into the middle of it, which causes all of the ornaments to fall off and the branches to bend, which leaves big gaps in the tree. It's frustrating but also hilarious because you can't see him in there and the tree is shaking. It reminds us of the scene where the Grinch is stealing Cindy Lou Who's tree. 

Pep also loves playing with the balls at the bottom of the tree, so he smacks them off and chases them all over the apartment. I still can't find a few.

This was last Christmas at my parents' house.

Day 9: Favorite Holiday recipe

 Cheeseball! My family looooves this appetizer/heavenly treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 12oz Philadelphia cream cheese
• 1 small jar of dried beef
• 1 onion

Cut off the edges of the dried beef, then chop the beef into small pieces.

Chop the onion to taste (usually about 1/8th of the onion)

Mix all three ingredients together and press into a ball!

Serve on Ritz crackers

Day 10: Favorite Christmas Songs/Caroles

My favorite Christmas song is Oh Holy Night. The best versions I've heard are: Celine Dion, Martina McBride, Josh Groban, and Lea Michelle's on the new Glee Christmas CD.
These are a few of my favorite Christmas CDs!








(Don't judge....'Merry Christmas Baby' is awesome)

CDs that I am really wanting:

Day 11: New Year Resolutions

1. Get a job

2. Mix more healthy foods into my diet (I am a firm believer that you can eat whatever you want...just in moderation! Sometimes I ignore forget the moderation part...)

3. Join a small group at our (hopefully) new church
