Tis the Season to be Jolly...

Christmas came early today, in the form of a UPS package from BOSE. 
i can't believe december is half way over - where did it go?
i love homemade pumpkin bread and am grateful it turned out delicious on my first try.
the temp outside is 28 degrees and it feels significantly better than the single digits we've had.
i finally broke into my maternity bin and it's refreshing to have clothes i can fit into again.
after it's tipped over twice, i'm embracing the lopsided and half decorated look of my Christmas tree - i don't want to decorate it a third time.
zofran is my best friend and keeps me functioning.
we're delivering baked goods and caroling for mutual tonight and i'm SO excited.
i'm conflicted about santa hats - i think they're corny but deep down i secretly wish i was confidant enough to wear one. and pull it off.
i'm appreciative of the snow and how much more it feels like Christmas when it's white winter wonderland.
i blow dried my hair today which rarely happens other than for church on sundays.
being domestic and crafty and making some homemade gifts has actually been fun this year, which surprised me.
i enjoyed a non-diet dr. pepper and am trying not to think about all the calories i swallowed - i usually only drink diet.
i'm loving the lingering scent of burberry cologne dan sprayed this morning before he left for work.
i love our new stereo and Christmas music is blaring through our house.
best part? we didn't pay a penny for it - thank you american express rewards points for making this meager little Christmas a lot more exciting.

*i no longer feel like the Grinch and am finally excited/ready for Christmas to come.

..... fa la la la la, la la, la la.
