Like I said before, it’s my favorite month of the year. I think it’s comes from me being a child. First of all, I love the cold weather, all the layers of clothing, fires and hot chocolate! Then there’s the decorations. Halloween is fun and Easter is just a horrible color choice, but Christmas, Christmas is different. I’ll be honest though, I CANNOT stand Christmas music. My mom always decorated for Christmas. There is a collection of such old treasures that are throughout the house that have survived several moves and four children. This year it seems like I am way more excited about Christmas than normal. It makes me feel comforted even if it’s not my home.

There are some great Santas that have their spot and childhood ornaments are still there, on their limbs. The only thing I miss is having that real Christmas tree. But if we just sprayed the fake tree to smell like a spruce. HA! We could spruce things up a bit!!
Happy Holidays Y’all.

There’s nothing else like being with family just because. Took a long long drive from ATX, snagged a brother, and headed to Louisiana. My mommy’s house is feeling Christmas. (some of my favorite things from my childhood are still here, I’ll share soon). We wrapped presents while everyone else was napping.

And I’ve had a ton of coffee. With great coffee comes great family game time. Dominoes were had. A failed attempt to understand “42″ only led to a amateur game of Spades. Which was ended with my brother fatefully losing their last hand with the humble comment, “I didn’t ever see the Queen of Spades get laid!” to which my witty mother snapped, “Sure you did, the king did it.”

My mom has been collecting finger puppets for ages. She let Imogen play with them today, giving Imogen a heart attack when she opened the box. Some are so cool! It’s like a seek and find picture. :)
