Tis the Season

Well here it is....December. But it's hard for me to get in the Christmas spirit (not that I am a huge Christmas fan to begin with) when we still have the AC on. I ran yesterday in a t-shirt and shorts. Come on now. It's December. Who would have thought growing up in the Midwest and the endless amount of snow we lived through, I would be missing it now? Also, it's hard for me to get in the spirit because my adorable husband who has been playing Christmas music since November, and has kindly reminded me everyday of how many days there are till Christmas. Thanks dear. On our DVR currently, we have at least 10 Christmas movies that are purposely being stored until the week before Christmas. However, it's really putting a cramp in my reality TV show space. It's absolutely crazy how different Bryan and I are when it comes to Christmas. He is like Buddy the Elf and I'm like Ebenezer Scrooge. It's all Bah Humbugs for me.

However, as of December 1st I was completely done with all my Christmas shopping (including wrapping), had the decorations up, and my Christmas cards out. I don't want to sound like I'm gloating, but I am pretty proud of myself. (It's pretty easy to get all my shopping down quickly when we are limited to three shopping locations...Walmart, JCPennies, and Ross). No, I did a lot of my shopping online as well, which caused a delay in the wrapping process due to the shipping time =) I do loving getting gifts for people during this time thought. I love watching their faces opening things they weren't expecting!

I am pretty excited about how our house turned out.

                                          Hard to remember it's December with skies like these!


We are planning on driving up to Ohio in two weeks to celebrate Christmas. Hopefully we get a taste of a white Christmas. I hope everyone has a great holiday season!
