Merry Christmas! Did Santa visit you yet? I hope you got everything on your list!
Today I’m linking up with Courtney, Cynthia and Mar for their Friday Five Link Up!
This week’s is Free Friday so I’m writing about 5 things I love about the holidays.
Kindness – Something about the holidays always puts people in a great mood. I like that people smile more, laugh more and spread kinds to those around them. When I see this, it always puts me in the holiday spirit!

Decorations – I love holiday decorations! I get my love of holiday decorations from my mom. Out house looks like the North Pole and I absolutely love it! Christmas trees, christmas lights, inflatable penguins, bows, etc. The more festive, the better!

Wrapping Presents – I believe that I was an Elf in another life. I can’t express how much I LOVE wrapping gifts! I hate gift bags and I will attempt to wrap any present. I always volunteer during the holidays to wrap gifts for kids. I’ll basically take any opportunity to wrap presents. I love all the different types of wrapping paper, bows, ribbon, etc – it’s just a fun time!

Food – I kind of feel like this is self explanatory. There is nothing better than a big holiday feast – ham, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, yams, pies, champagne…the list goes on and on. I basically workout because I love to eat 🙂

Online Shopping – I love getting gifts for others, but I loathe dealing with crowds and crazy people. Online shopping is the best thing ever because I can do it from the comfort of my bed. I did all my Black Friday shopping online and it was magical. I’m especially fond of Amazon and other website that offer free shipping.

I wish you all a fabulous Christmas holiday and tons of laughter and joy with your family and friends today and this weekend!

I bet 90 percent of my gifts were bought online this year. I dislike real shopping!
Merry Christmas to you!

Online shopping is the best ever!

Merry Christmas, Kim!

I don't know how I would survive without online shopping. Merry Christmas!
Nicole @ Life after Heels says
I agree with you shopping for others is fun, and nothing beats being able to do it from your nice and cozy bed. I get very over whelmed when I go to the stores at this time of year and end up buying to much. Shopping on line keeps my expenses down. I love to wrap too. I actually worked a couple of holiday seasons as a gift wrapper. I had a lot of fun
kookyrunner says
Me too! When I go to the stores there are just so many options. Thats so cool that you worked as a gift wrapper during the holidays
Mar @ Mar on the Run says
Merry Christmas!! I bought several gift cards, which was easy and crafted some gifts. The one thing I bought was purchased online and picked up at the store 🙂 such a great stress free feeling!
Coco says
I am with you on the on-line shopping – and free shipping whenever possible! I am enjoying lots of holiday food!
kookyrunner says
I enjoyed way too many goodies yesterday! I hope you had a great Christmas 🙂
Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC says
Love this – I had a very similar list! 🙂
kookyrunner says
Online shopping for the win! I hope you had a great Christmas!
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
Decorations and tons of food are definitely 2 of my favorite things about Christmas! I wish I had the gift of decorating like my sister…it's so much fun to be around the lights, garland and ornaments!
kookyrunner says
Decorations always get me in the holiday spirit!
Cynthia @ You Signed Up For WHAT?! says
I love all these things except wrapping presents. Well, I used to love it and now I'm just in a hurry all the time so I am too sloppy!!!
