sounds like somebody needs to sing a christmas carol...

If you haven't seen the movie Elf, you should. There are enough one-liners to get you through the entire Christmas season.

I've looked forward to our first Christmas for a while. As I'm sure you've figured out by now, I'm extremely sentimental. I'm always looking for some sort of memory in the making. And Christmas is pretty much the perfect time to do that. So, Christmas has crept up more quickly than I expected, and all of the Christmas moments I had imagined have been getting choked out by unemployment, a few common colds, and a crazy work schedule. I've been fighting to make - and enjoy - the memories of our first Christmas. This week, I started to sit back and breathe and talk myself into a little relaxation. I love Christmas and I didn't want to lose sight of that. So we've been experiencing a Christmas extravaganza of sorts. The list includes, but is not limited to:

1. Christmas Movie Marathon: Home Alone, Elf, Polar Express
2. Christmas Candle: Sparkling Cinnamon
3. Christmas Pajamas
4. Apple Cider in my reindeer mug
5. Company Holiday Masque Party
   
6. Nanny Johnson's Christmas China
7. Wrapping presents with the Rat Pack
8. Oh Holy Night on the Christmas Piano CD
   

Get the idea?

I've been merry-ing up our Christmas and intend on doing so for the next week. Join in on the fun, okay?
