I have to be honest \u2013 this month flew by.<\/p>\n

And that stinks because I had so many ideas for this month\u2019s theme and I honestly didn\u2019t get much of those ideas. Still, I went through my stash from this month and think I did OK.<\/p>\n

But what a month this was, eh?<\/p>\n

In my area on Christmas Eve, it was nearly 70 degrees out, shattering many a record. Work was crazy hectic, I went to several events, and there were night when three hours was a lot of sleep.<\/p>\n

And, of course, since Christmas, I\u2019ve been battling a bad cold.<\/p>\n

Talk about ending 2015 with a bang!<\/p>\n

Alas, the end of the month means the Photo Blogging Challenge ends for this month. We are only a few months away from celebrating our third year! I\u2019m excited to see what everyone did for this month, as well.<\/p>\n

Quickly, though, if you are looking for an additional regular blogging challenge, the 20 Days of Chill Writing Challenge runs weekdays through the month of January. There are themes for each day, you blog about it, then come back here each day and link up. It can be a lot of fun. I only do it once a year, and January is the month.<\/p>\n

If you want to look at the themes, visit the post<\/a> I had a few days ago. It explains everything. Hope to see some of you join up!<\/p>\n

So, without further adieu, here are my five for the month!<\/p>\n

1. Ho! Ho! Ho! (with a few wrestling holds!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know Santa moonlighted as a wrestler? Me either. But he did well on two of 2CW’s final three cards to ring in the holiday season!<\/p>\n

\"Santa

Santa in control!<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

2. Elmo!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The holiday season also brings in Cameron’s birthday … and this year he got an Elmo! Think he’s excited?<\/p>\n

\"Elmo!\"

3. A little help<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron was getting some help from Gram on Christmas Eve with opening a few presents.<\/p>\n

4. Pr<\/p>\n

A little start to the opening of presents.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

4. Presents!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took this shot with one the new films and the new lens that Hipstamatic had out for Christmas. Thought it looked pretty cool.<\/p>\n

5. Opening up!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year Cameron seemed more into the opening of gifts.<\/p>\n

There are my five and I look forward to seeing what others had this month!<\/p>\n
