I've mentioned before how much I love Christmas. And since the season is in full-swing, I wanted to make the December TPQ centered around just that.
Obviously, we can say that having those we love around us is the ideal Christmas.
But, I want to know that separate from family and loved ones (and our wonderful men overseas) what is one thing you just HAVE to have at Christmas?
And what is something you aspire to have someday, that you don't right now?
The one thing I need at Christmas is egg nog. I love egg nog. Sometimes I'll mix in a little Baileys, but mostly just a tall class of thick, creamy goodness is enough to make my Christmas Eve delightful.
My aspirational Christmas?
I want to host Christmas in my own home. I want to have a home that allows me to have a decorative tree for display, like these:

And another tree downstairs for the colored lights, the Minnesota Twins ornaments and all the tacky (and AMAZING) handmade reindeer and plastic cartoon ornaments that the kids love.

That's the kind of Christmas I want when I grow up!
Happy December, ya'll!

Wow, those are some busy trees :)
For me I'd say that the thing I can't live without is the music. But I love the decorations too...when are you going to come help me decorate?
I have to have a live wreath on my door. I'm going to pick it up this week. My dad used to sell them as a fundraiser for Rotary when I was little, so our garage was always filled with them. I loved the smell of piney-goodness when you went out in the garage. My live wreath instantly transports me back to when I was a wee one.
