* It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in my world…because there is no more money in my bank   You gotta love it!  There are a ton of little ones in my life and they need toys   (I asked Santa for good football and he gave it to me early!  Yay!)

* Other than gift buying all over town, I have been buying items to make special treats for everyone.  I am mostly making rum cakes this year.  I might squeeze in a boxed brownie or two though  

* It’s not too cold where I am, but it is cold enough.  This brings a good feeling to a lady who sweats 90% of the year (shhhh, we’ll keep that fact to ourselves).

* My lights are up and Miss Lextra Dirty gave me a pre-lit tree I put up outside the house.  I have yet to put my tree up inside but I will shortly.

* Well, i’m off to wrap, sort, and enjoy the holiday season.  I’ll post a pic of the rum cake when it’s done!  Happy holidays everyone!

* Oh! And I’m watching Elf right now…Again…Happy Holidays!

I am ready for the holiday food and festivities to arrive!

I have watched Elf 6 7 times since Halloween.  That movie really put me in the mood, especially because I have a trip planned to “a magical land called New York City.”  I will be watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade live this year!

I will definitely be busy until the New Year, but mostly with family and friends.  I can’t believe this year has nearly passed.

Things to do before Christmas:

-Go to NYC and have a Fabulous time!
-Bake a lot of sweets. Yum!
-Buy presents for my huge family!
-Enjoy the weather.
