Thirteen Things I Love About Winter Break
1.) I get to sleep in.
2.) My kids are home and I get to spend time with them. They’re growing up so fast. Last night we watched my daughter perform in the kindergarten Nutcracker. My mom mentioned my son’s performance the year before and I said, “Mom, that was two years ago.” And boy, did that hit me hard. Two years. It seems like two months!
3.) My stepson comes home from school. We miss him, so it’s good to have him home for the holidays.
4.) We go to my SIL’s for Christmas dinner, which we enjoy on Christmas Eve so that we can all stay home on Christmas Day. My SIL is a gourmet cook and food at her house always freakin’ rocks!
5.) I get to sleep in. (Blessed be!)
6.) The colder weather. I live in So. Cal., so it’s pretty much the same temperature all year long (except for the middle of summer, when it’s hot as hell. Seriously. HOT.) I especially love it if it rains, but that doesn’t happen near as often as it should.
7.) Everything seems to slow down during the holidays. (I’m sure of you are thinking, “Slow down? Wassat?”, but for me, life slows down some and that’s nice.)
8.) Enjoying more cold weather foods — soups, stews, chilis, hot chocolate, tea.
9.) I get to sleep in. (Oh joy! I love it!)
10.) Most days I don’t have to be anywhere at any time. 
I’ve got more coming, but I’m seriously falling asleep at the wheel here. More in the morning…
I’m still working on it…
