I finally have ALL of my Christmas decorations up! Yay! The only thing left is Jon needs to put the lights on the outside of the house – but considering we’re having freezing cold wind gusts strong enough to blow someone off the ladder today, I’m perfectly happy with an unlit house. 🙂

Tonight was supposed to be our night to get some Christmas shopping done, but like I said, freezing cold wind gusts. We’ll probably try to go anyway and just bundle up. I’m thinking this is all just a better reason to run by Starbucks during our shopping trip, don’t you? 🙂

I bought some new candles and new Glade air freshener plug-in things last week and let me tell you – not to brag or anything, but my house smells SO good right now! I love when all the holiday scents come out! I really should just stock up so my house smells like Christmas all year long, but as of right now, I haven’t done that. Although, it might take some of the specialness (not sure if that’s really a word) away from the season if I had the smell of it all year.

I got to meet an old friend for lunch today – so fun! Her son is a year old and just adorable! Afterward, I ran by my parent’s house and visited with my mom and sister for a little bit. Now, I’m procrastinating on my deadline and blogging instead. 🙂 I’m sitting here with a GIANT cup of steaming hot spiced tea (my most favorite drink of the season!) and I was just looking around my living room and feeling all Christmasy. So, I thought I’d spread the feeling!

I hope you are all taking time to relax and enjoy this Christmas!
