Christmastime is here 🎄 ☕


The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough!
                                                   -Jack Skellington in Christmastown


i love Christmastime! the fresh cool air, the bright and colorful lights and decorations, Christmas trees and garland, Nativity scenes, traditions, magic wonder and hopeful excitement, making plans to be with family and friends, buying and wrapping thoughtful gifts, and knowing it's all a big celebration of the birth of Jesus...it's all so special and makes my heart so happy! December is easily one of my favorite months of the year, second only to October ;) 

some of my Christmastime favorites:
// TRADITION pajamas, hot cocoa, driving around looking at Christmas lights
// MOVIE Elf and Nightmare before Christmas 
// FOOD Nini's Dream Salad, and spaghetti on Christmas Eve
// DRINK eggnog and hot chocolate 
// CHILDHOOD GIFT Baylor sweatshirt
