tis the season

It's beginning to look alot like doo-tee. Ha. I used to sing that as a kid. I looove this time O year. The chirry weather, not to be confused with chilly...the little fake light up snowmen, the very toasty red holiday starbucks cups, the traditional Christmas tree little debbie cakes, wrapping paper, nightly batches of sugar cookies with sprinkles, home made apple cider, reading books by the Christmas tree. Ahhh I love it all.

This year so far has been pretty coZty (cozy and toasty in one!) I have a new home with a wonderful fire place and high vaulted ceilings. The Christmas tree looks even better with the high ceilings and I can actually hang my stockings on the mantel instead of the entertainment center. My puppy who could very well be THE cutest dog ever in the world lets me put Santa hats on her, place her in front of the tree and take pictures. She loves me. She really does! Ive never seen a dog give hugs and love on people the way she does. Its sweet as can be.

Ive had great luck with buying gifts so far. I always worry about not getting any good gift ideas and then at the last minute something great and fantastic will come to me, as did it this year. Woo hoo! Ive had my fill of traditions so far too. Shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving was eventful as ever. I got all I set out to get and more! I was done by 6:45, stopped at starbucks on the way home to wrap! Thanksgiving was very lovely and birthdays and other celebrations fill up the weekends right up until Christmas. Have I mentioned I love this time of year?
