12 Days of Christmas – Day 2

Would you rather be an elf in Santa’s shop or a reindeer on Santa’s sleigh?

This is an interesting question….would I rather be an elf or a reindeer? I think if I had to choose I would choose to be an elf rather than a reindeer.

This might sound silly but deep down I’ve always wished I could live in a fantasy Christmas themed world like being an elf at the North Pole. Watching movies like The Santa Claus, I always wished a little Christmas magic would make its way into my life and I’d be able to live in a world full of candy canes and hot chocolate.

I think being an elf, I would have more opportunities to live that magical life. Sure, I’d have to work all the time but elves are born with happy and optimistic personalities. I wouldn’t care that I was working all the time because that would be in my nature. And come on, how amazing would it be to say that your job was an elf? You don’t just have to build toys to be an elf, you could work with the reindeer or be Santa’s personal assistant. No matter what your duties are, you’d be surrounded by other happy and optimistic elves just like you. Doesn’t that sound like a fun and magical life?

One year in high school, I even dressed up as an elf for Halloween. Yeah, I was a little strange but I love Christmas and what says Christmas more than an elf?

Flashback to Halloween 2011….Yikes

The only thing that interests me about thinking about being a reindeer would be having the ability to fly. I mean, you’d have to be crazy to think that wouldn’t be awesome. I’m terrified of heights and I still think that would be cool. That being said, I think the pros of being an elf outweigh having the ability to fly making my choice very easy!

NEDA Week 2021

2 years ago I shared a story that is very close to my heart. I talked about my younger sister’s struggle with Anorexia Nervosa and how it has impacted her life and my life. This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week so I thought it would be time to share again the battle my…

2021 = CHANGE

So it has been a while and things have been insane. I feel like I don’t have time for literally anything in my life because I have SO MUCH going on right now. So first things first, I had a HUGE thing happen in my life back in January…. Her name is Annie and she…

Top 10 of 2020

One thing I enjoy the most about the end of the year is looking back and finding the best parts of the past 365 days. Obviously, we all know 2020 has been ROUGH. Like most people in the world, I lost a lot. I got dumped (twice), I lost my job, I wasn’t able to…

12 Days of Christmas – Day 1

Would you rather give up Christmas trees or Christmas cookies?

I know this one might be hard for some but for me, this is an easy would you rather Christmas question. It is not Christmas without a wonderous beautifully lit Christmas tree. I would easily give up Christmas cookies if it meant keeping my Christmas tree.

There is something so magical about a Christmas tree! Between the the ornaments, lights, and (of course) presents, it means the holiday season is officially here. Unlike most people, the tree in my family goes up the day after Halloween. Always has and always will. It makes me so happy when November 1st finally rolls around knowing that at the end of the day, I’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the wonderful new view in my living room.

Don’t get me wrong, I do love a good Christmas cookie (and my grandma makes the best chocolate crinkle cookies that exist) BUT I’m not a big sweet person. I used to love every single cookie that was out there and lived for Christmas to come around just for the cookies. Over time though, my taste changed and I started to enjoy making the cookies more than eating them. (I know, I’m weird!)

So you tell me, would you rather give up Christmas trees or Christmas cookies??
