I don't think I've ever gotten one of these done this early. The link up has not even been posted but here I am. We are headed out on New Year's Eve so I figured I better get it while the getting is good.
Without further ado, here are my five that are more Jolly than Holly.
The first of the month brought the annual Waco Wonderland celebration. It was well attended this year. Plenty of vendors as well.
A new Star Wars always makes me jolly. John and I took in a late night show early on to avoid the spoilers.
William received his Eagle rank in a Court of Honor held this month. We are now a two Eagle family and proud of both of them.
Winner of the ABC TV's Great Christmas Light Fight. This lady is over 70 and sets all this up herself. Trained as an electrician too to wire it all safely. It started many years ago because her daughter was in the hospital at Christmas and she wanted to see the tree. They live just across the street from the hospital. It grew from there. I hope the $50,000 in prize money helps pay her electric bill a little.
Christmas Day finally came once again. These four just keep growing. It's bittersweet to think that 2018 will be the year Evan and John head off to college and leave their nests behind.
Here is where I'd normally put a link back but like I said, I'm early! So go look at a lil hoohaa blog take a look at some of the other challenges he's putting up while you are there. And if you like taking photos or want to take more photos, think about joining in on this one in 2018! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Congratulations, William, for your Eagle award!
Love the back story about the lady who won the Christmas lights fight, very fitting, and boy, yes, she can certainly use a little contribution towards her electric bill!
A very happy new year to you and your family!
Amazing, as always. Great story about the mom who won the Christmas lights fight (I don't think we have anything like that here in Canada....yet). That photo of your young adults on the stairs...two thumbs up. As they head their different ways, it's harder and harder to preserve moments like these. Wishing you and yours all the best in 2018.
