Holiday Bucket List

Day #3 of the 12 days for the holidays.  Today is my Holiday Bucket List! 

This year I want to go into Philly to see the city decorated with lights, go to the Polish deli to get real kielbasa like my grandpa used to get me and check out the Wanamaker Light show with my family!  I can't wait, I have to make it happen this year!

Check out what my friends wrote while participating in the 12 days of Christmas, at A Life in Balance.
