Pass the nog Mr. Mathis!

Kay, christmas spirit has officially hit! I quazi-decorated my apartment for the upcoming seasonal joy, and then I realized, I need a tree! My friend Cathrine, her daughter and I are going christmas tree hunting...literally. We three women are going out to the few acres of woodland her parents own armed with nothing but our axes and mental measurements of ceiling heights. Oh what fun! Mr. Johnny Mathis is dutifully in his rightful place IN my CD player, and Father Winter has finally heard my wishes and pleas for a normal white christmas, and Heath is making hot chocolate (w/marshmellow of course!), yeah, this is going to be a good holiday!

Who can't smile a wee bit when they hear faint sounds of christmas music come wafting through well placed speakers outside those bustling downtown stores? Obviously I'm in a good mood, the only thing keeping me from doing a "sound of music" turn in the falling flakes of fat snow, is the fact that it's cold, and I get wierd looks...that and I don't think my boss likes me standing on my desk anyhow, I get a little caught up in the moment sometimes...ahem.

Sooo, the cheer is near and my list is...well, still there. I have yet to get presents for people, granted I know what I'm getting people, I just have to brave the crowds and do it. After last years gifts it's gonna be hard to top this year, but here's the great thing, presents aren't the major thing, it's the fact that my sister and the fam are comming!!! That tops it for me, totally, no questions asked, I am officially the happiest ever!

So now today is my lazy day, currently listening the Harry Connick Jr. sing holiday songs on my TV and somewhat cleaning, no need to make a big deal out of it, I'm perfectly content staying in my snowman pj's with my terry cloth bathrobe and...chocolate. :) It's a good thing to be sure, the only thing I miss is my fireplace, oh well, can't have everything now can I?

Ok, well, I know I may be perky, but I have plenty of reasons to be! I'm hoping that my holiday cheer will rub off on people and at least make them smile. Ok...I'll leave it be...for now. :)

Hope this brings a smile to anyone who reads it, and happy holidays! Cheers.
