#1--good but no comma; #2--you have added an independent clause; #3--good, but in reality that is an independent clause + a dependent clause;-)
It's nice when you can look forward to Christmas dinner when you're probably the one cooking it!

Tammy:#1--omit the semicolon (use a semicolon to separate two independent clauses); #2--no comma after "because"; #3--this is a phrase that you have added.
