I love Christmas.  Not only because I get presents (but come on who doesn’t love presents) but because I get to give presents and I love the smell of Christmas–trees, cookies baking, cinnamon, etc.  We spent the week end getting our house ready for Christmas.  My MIL is coming in for the holiday–she comes for Christmas every other year–and we have Christmas morning at our house.  I have to admit that I just don’t feel the Christmas spirit until my tree is up.

I am almost done Christmas shopping–I do almost all of my shopping online and I am happy to be nearly done.  I think I might have to got our to the mall and get a present or two but I won’t complain about that.   Christmas time also means that I am almost done with school as well.  My final paper is due on Wednesday, so until then I leave you with a few pictures.  We will return to our regularly scheduled drivel on Thursday…
