These are a few of my favorite things...

I'm really getting into the Christmas Spirit! I can't believe it is only a week away! Wow! Looks like my Simplifying Christmas series is going to have to be cut short (I'll wrap that up here in the next couple of days). I tend to procrastinate, and my husband and I already have a huge list written up of what we need to get done this weekend.

We've been enjoying Christmas activities together this week. Last night, we went driving around to look at Christmas lights! We saw some really pretty houses. Tonight we are going to relax and watch a Christmas movie while we wrap a few gifts. Sunday night, we're going caroling. That will be really fun!

Before I sign off for the night, I wanted to share a few of my favorite Christmas things:
