I don’t know about you, but I tend to get in a minor funk once Christmas is over. The Christmas season is my favorite time of year. I love the build-up, the anticipation, and the ongoing celebration. I love the atmosphere: the music, the decorations and (for the most part) the overall kindness and generosity of people. The season never seems long enough, and I never want it to be over.

I continue to listen to Christmas music, save Christmas movies on my DVR to keep watching, and leave my decorations up for as long as my husband will tolerate (read a funny story about that here). No, we are not the people who leave Christmas lights up year round (no judgment if you do!). And yes…I have a Christmas Countdown app on my phone that my kids and I look at throughout the year!
