1. I’m kind of in love with our Christmas card display. I wasn’t sure that we’d get many cards this year, but clearly, I was wrong.
2. We finally got some snow! Real, stick to the ground, snow. Because of it, I have a two hour delay today. It’s going to make my last day of work (before break) feel especially weird, but I’ll take it!
3. I’ve been really bad at making dinner lately. You know, dinner that doesn’t consist of leftover pizza or “whatever we can find.” I hope to change this over Christmas break, when I can get my meal planning back on track.
4. Last night, Jordan and I had the perfect “Christmasy” evening. All of the Christmas lights on, a candle lit, gingerbread tea (for me), hot chocolate (for him), and ‘Christmas Vacation’ on TV. As fast as Christmas is coming up, it was nice to appreciate this time of year in the middle of the work week.
5. Remember how I had a cookie baking party with my friends at the beginning of the month? Well, tonight I’m going over to my parents’ house to decorate cookies for the second time, with my mom and sisters. It’s our annual tradition, and the snow outside makes the occasion even better 
.
6. Jordan’s first reaction to his 12 Days of Christmas gifts was, “I didn’t get you anything,” but I think he’s enjoying it now . Here’s what I given him so far:
* One video game
* Two pairs of Spider-Man socks
* Three undershirts
* Four bottles of root beer
* Five pairs of underwear
* Six ounces of chocolate
* Seven text messages with reasons why I love him
* Eight cans of Coke
As you can see, nothing is too over the top, but it’s fun to give him something everyday! And, he’ll still get gifts under the tree on Christmas morning (that was another one of his concerns ).
7. I feel like all I’ve talked about since Thanksgiving is Christmas, so I’m going to have to get creative with my posts come New Year’s. I just love this time of year so much!
8. If this is your last day of work before Christmas, enjoy it — and have a wonderful weekend!
Looks like the perfect cozy night!
I love the idea of 12 gifts of Christmas! I think that would be fun and my hubby would totally love it.
I love your Christmas card display! All of mine are sitting in a stack on the counter. Have a great weekend from a fairly new blog follower!
Thank you!!
being home I adore cooking dinner and not just heating something up, makes it so much nicer. I like the way you display your cards.
I LOVE how you’re displaying your Christmas cards, such a cute idea.
Your Christmas card display is so cute! And I am so doing the 12 days of Christmas next year for Josh!! I seriously love that idea!
I really like that idea of 12 days of Christmas gifts. So cute-you always have the best ideas.
Have a great holiday!
I love hanging up our Christmas cards too!! It makes it so fun! I also love your 12 days of Christmas idea. I may have to steal that next year.
Aw, your card display is adorable! I too thought we wouldn’t get any cards, but we got so many and I had no fun display for them. I totally feel you about not making dinner (or any real meals for that matter). Good luck getting back on track. It feels so good to know what you have planned to eat again.
Thank you!
