I can't believe it's December already! Thanks to Global Warming, it takes a lot longer these days for the Midwest to freeze and stay frozen, but alas, I think it's finally caught up to us. We've had snow that actually stuck, and today we woke up to freezing rain and a nice coat of ice on my car and the streets that kept me from bringing my little sisters coffee and enjoying pancakes made by Lauren. So sad.
But! It's also closer to Christmas! And I don't care what anyone says, I still love Christmas. And I still get excited about it every year. I love buying presents, I love putting up a tree, I love Christmas parties and church on Christmas Eve, and our sister present exchange, and Christmas morning, afternoon and dinner with my family. It's good times all around. Nevaeh especially loves my Christmas tree and that makes it even more fun, no one else appreciates it the way an almost 2 year old does- she makes me sit in front of it with her, watching the fiber optics and saying, "OOoooh!!! WOW!"
I'm also a big fan of all the Toledo activities you can only partake in at Christmastime. Yesterday Cory and I joined my mom for a walk through the Manor House (and happened to run into his mom while we were there, so we all had hot chocolate), and sometime within the next week or so we're more than likely going to the Lights at the Zoo. Shayna and I have a date for cookie making sometime in the next week, and there was a super awesome art show at Lauren's studio last week called "Tis the Secor".
Hope everyone else is enjoying the holiday season! For me, it makes the cold a little more tolerable...but as soon as the holidays are over, I will curse every flake that falls.
Until then, it's pretty.

Holy holiday chipper. I can't say I'm as excited about it as you, but I did have fun chopping down a tree. I'm watching Miracle on 34th right now, just cuz there's nothing else on. Throw back a sixer, and this movie rocks. :) Happy Christmas!!
