Christmas that is. I'm all decorated, most of the presents are bought, or ordered. Some of you may or may not know that Christmas is my most favorite Holiday of the year. 
I love decorating my whole house for the holiday, and buying presents for friends and family. This is the only time of year that I don't totally get annoyed with other shoppers. I guess you could say I get filled with the Christmas spirit. I will have my shopping done probably by next week, but I will still be out doing extra odds and ends up till the eve of Christmas Eve. I love sending out Christmas cards, this year I'll send about 50. I love making neighbor gifts, even if they don't. Last year was Punkin's first real visit with Santa. We went to a place called Reindeer Crossing near Tremonton. It was a drive to get there but totally worth it. Unfortunately we won't be able to go this year. Last year was the last year for Reindeer Crossing. During the summer of 2007, the owner who had the home that housed several reindeer, rare birds and small animals was killed in a car accident. A few volunteers got together to help his wife do it last year, but she understandably couldn't carry it on. We are truly bummed, because it was a new tradition for us. So this year we are on the hunt for a new Christmas outing tradition. We have been considering Zoo Lights at Hogle Zoo.
Some of the exotic birds.
The little Pony, I wish I could remember it's name, it was so cute. It grabbed that candy cane right out of Punkins hand.
She rode it all by herself, with Grandpa close by of course.
One of the many reindeer. They were gorgeous.
She did so good sitting on Santa's lap, hopefully she'll do it again this year. I think she will because her big item on her Christmas list is, get this, two American Flags. I'm not even kidding. I'm not counting on Peanut giving him much of a chance.

And of course lets not forget the real reason for celebrating Christmas while your out running those Holiday errands.
