I Believe. The first 25...

My blogroll today was full of posts titled, "I Believe".
When I saw the first one, I figured it was a post about Santa and the magic of Christmas (a little early, but as someone who may or may not have already picked out her Christmas cards, it didn't faze me).
But then I rolled past a few more and I thought, surely not this many people are writing about Santa, and discovered that it's - of course - a link up from Erin over @ Living in Yellow.
So I read one.
And then I read another one.
And then I left for an appointment and to run errands for a few hours, and found myself making a mental list of the things that I Believe in (and arguing and debating with myself about the inclusion of several of my choices.  Sometimes it really is hard to be me).
I thought of way too many for you to care about, so I've narrowed it down to 25.  This time.  You've been warned.
