So it has set in, Christmas is one week form today! Ahh! I am looking forward to being off work, spending lots of time with family and friends, and soaking up the holiday fun, but (insert screech sound effect here) I still have shopping to do.
I thought we were doing well after purchasing 15 of the 21 gifts we needed to buy, but now those last 6 are hanging over my head, taunting me and reminding me that although I have come so far, I have much left to do.
Unfortunately, I am much like the rest of the population so these final shopping trips are hectic. The parking lots are full, the lines are long and while shopping people tend to loose that holiday spirit. So wish me well as I finish up and hopefully I don't run into you at the mall!

I feel good... dunna nunna nunna na
I don't know what it is
Maybe it's that it is Friday and we only have 5 more school days before we are out for Christmas break, Maybe it is that I am eagerly awaiting looking at Christmas lights from inside a cozy bus with my closest friends and family, Maybe it is that my adorable husband just brought me lunch at school, but I feel good! I have so many things to look forward to. I feel thankful every moment of the day this time of year.

Tis the Season
It is really hitting me that Christmas is upon us. I think it might have something to do with the 10 hours shopping spree I went on this weekend. Matt and I bought 15 people gifts out of the 21 on our official NICE list. Yes, I did say Matt and I. My husband is an angel to put up with shopping for that long, but believe it or not we actually had a really good time.
We took time out to make it fun by watching the performances in the mall, trying on coats for a chance to win $500 shopping spree, and drinking awful, horrid box wine at one stores open house.
Now, I am not a general hater of boxed wine, but this was wretched. We weren't even sure what it was at first sip. I think the incense from the store had seeped into the box and created something undrinkable. But, I digress.
The weather has turned colder. I long for Starbucks ever time a chill hits my face. Getting up in the morning is increasingly more difficult. Along with my students I am counting down the days until I can give in to all of these desires for two whole weeks! So at this moment I have 1 week, 3 days, 17 hours, 38 minutes, and 45 seconds!
Tis the season!
