I am such a huge fan of the holidays. I know that in a couple weeks decorations will start to appear and that sense of excitment will be back again! I am just like every other stereotypical girl who gets giddy over Jessica Simpsons version of "Baby its Cold Outside"! My family always has such a wonderful time getting together during the holidays- that might be why I love it so much. My family is kind of spread out all over so I love that we have an excuse to all get together. And trust me my family is a hoot! Really we are just a bunch of freaks who love hearing ourselves talk... but over a couple bottles of wine I find it quite amusing. And after Thanksgiving is Christmas, an even better upgrade! I absolutely adore thinking about getting everyone I love the perfect gift, honestly I am a bit over the top but it just makes me so happy to do something well thought out for someone. My greatest downfall however is that once I figure out what to get I always tell the person or give it to them early! Ha- poor AY found out about his Christmas present in October I was just too excited to wait! My favorite time in college was every Christmas when Claire and I would drive around and look @ Christmas lights! Dallas does this right! So this year I have one of those huge snow globes I am going to put in AY's front yard and create my own winter wonderland- poor guy.
Oh and how could I forget the FOOD! I am excited to help out with cooking this year, last year I just did the baking. This year I am going to try to take the reigns, but with my mom that could be hard, she has a system down! I'll have the best posts on this thing as the next two months unfold!
i am so part of the countdown... check this out!
