I'm really glad I made this list because it was a horrible drive to work in the snow and I was cursing this time of year, but making these lists just reminded me of all the great and amazing things there are this time of year. It made me so Excited and Grateful for this time of year.... Snow and all. I'm excited to read everyone else's traditions and other lists!!
