A To-Do List for Christmas....

I know we all have a lot of things on our plate (and I don't just mean cookies- ha!) this time of year, but here is a list of things I consider to be neccessities at Christmas time.

1. Give generously... to loved ones and strangers. Giving presents is my favorite thing about Christmas.
2. Go to church... Even if you don't ususally. What better time of year to give it a try?
3. Eat a seedless satsuma (mandarin) orange. They are in season right now and are a Christmas staple at the Godwin residence.
4. Watch 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' - another Godwin tradition.
5. Build a fire in the fireplace (or watch one for free on TV with Comcast ON Demand)
6. Eat nuts that you shell yourself.
7. Open 1 present on Christmas Eve.
8. Sing along with Christmas music on the radio... It will be over soon so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
9. Stop counting calories... it's only one week.
10. Spend time with people you love.
