Totally getting into the Christmas spirit lately, my husband does not allow any decor, music, movies, or talk of Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but I am already full of holiday spirit!
Music:
The Elf soundtrack of course so many classics & fun songs, I especially love Baby It's Cold Outside, Pennies from Heaven, & Santa Baby! A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my other favorites, it's a jazz album & it's completely relaxing. Last but not least for now, Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart. Let's face it, Bob Dylan is a classic, he may sound like he's had one too many eggnogs, but it's still a great album.
Movies:
I haven't started watching any Christmas movies yet, those I will wait to start until after Thanksgiving. Top favorites, Elf, Christmas Vacation, White Christmas, Just Friends, The Grinch, The Muppet's Christmas Carol, to name a few.
Decor:
Couple things I'm excited about, a real tree is in the works for this year. Joe grew up having a real tree his entire life, his parents still put up a real tree, I've never had the pleasure of having one, so this year were going to give it a try. I'm afraid Frankie might try to pee on it... we will see. My new Scentsy Owl Warmer with several new scents, all winter themed, Eskimo Kiss, Snowberry, Silver Bells, & Festival of Trees. My Yankee "Christmas Eve" candle, another necessity.

Some other random holiday stuff I'm pumped about, I picked up some Sam Adams White Christmas today at the grocery store I can't wait to try it. My best friends Ugly Sweater party is December 8th. It's such a great party, I went to her house yesterday and she was decorating already, she has more Christmas decorations than anyone I know. Her party is always a blast.
Joe and I are going to be breaking tradition this year & it will be a first for both of us. We are actually going to be traveling to Minot, North Dakota from December 20th thru the 26th to spend Christmas with my bestest friend & sister-in-law & Joe's brother, Jon & their kids. We are extremely excited. We're planning on doing some last minute Christmas shopping, lots of drinking, eating, movie watching, playing, & laughing. It will be a great time. I've never had a Christmas where I could just stay in my PJ's all day & do nothing. My parents were divorced when I was two so I've always had lots of places to go between Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Pretty pumped about that.
And last, but not least, my very favorite thing during the holiday's is gift giving. I've already gotten the majority of my shopping done & I'm pretty excited about the gifts were giving this year. Of course I can't reveal anything on here until after Christmas, but I have to toot my own horn about for my awesome gift giving abilities.
