Five Things: Christmas Break Edition

It's my finals week and as you may be able to tell from my increased posting, I'm taking any little break I can get from studying. The only thing keeping me sane is looking forward to my month long Christmas break, which starts on Wednesday. Here are the top five things I'm looking forward to.
1. Getting to spend time with my whole family. I haven't seen Alissa or Justin since the summer and I haven't seen Joe since the spring. We all haven't been together since last Christmas, so it will definitely be nice to have everyone home.

2. Christmas morning. I love Christmas and all of the traditions that come with it. My favorite Christmas traditions are our morning breakfast and stockings.

3. Possible snow and being cuddled up inside my cozy house. I miss my house and my bed!

4. Spending time with this little guy. He's just so sweet and I miss playing with him. Benny has a cute little Christmas hat that we put on him every year...he hates it, but he looks so funny!

5. Baking. Alissa and I want to try these s'mores bars and I would like to try to make some peppermint bark. I love the William and Sonoma kind, but it's so expensive!

What are you looking forward to about Christmas?
