A few of my favorite things...

This is my favorite time of the year, and I am most grateful to have so much time off of work to enjoy this season.  I thought I would take time to list a few of my favorites for this post.

• Receiving a text out of the blue to know someone is thinking of me
• Finding the perfect gift for someone else
• Holding hands
• Streets lit up with Christmas lights
• Cuddling up to watch a good movie
• The smell of fresh cut grass, rain, cilantro, and clean clothes
