I consider myself a very happy person. Goldie Hawn once described this type of happiness as having a little giggle inside always just ready to come out. I got what Goldie was talking about because that is how I feel pretty much every day. I credit this a lot to having a lot of small pleasures that make up every day for me. I am very blessed and recognize the small things make up our lives.
In the spirit of the holiday season as well as an attempt to shorten a very long list, I will just list my holiday small pleasures
* Morning Folgers coffee in a gigantic mug that cups just right in my hands
* Being excited about having a special treat like pumpkin bread for breakfast (my current breakfast of choice during the holiday season) see recipe for it here
* Christmas lights
* Christmas music
* Starbucks Christmas themed cup
* A Christmas tree lighting up the room with no other lights on
* A Christmas Story and the 24 hour marathon on TBS
* Hot cocoa, hot cider
* Christmas commercials (weird I know but I love to all of a sudden have holiday music drifting through the house during a commercial)
* The candles on the advent wreath
* Christmas spiritual readings (in daily devotionals)
* My ultimate favorite: tucked away on a quiet cold Sunday afternoon during the holiday season with Christmas music playing and reading a book while sipping something hot and being cozy and warm.
* Christmas office parties
* Christmas candy
*Enjoying a glass of wine after work with Christmas music playing and the tree lit up
*Going to take a coffee shop break in the middle of a shopping trip and getting a cup of coffee with a holiday treat
*The Square lit up and decorated for Christmas...I get to live in a Christmas village!
*Most importantly during the holiday season and every day, my friends and family that God has given me!
