"I'm dreaming of white Christmas...just like the one la la la laaa......."

Don't you just love Christmas music? and Christmas decorations? and Christmas food? This is absolutely my most favorite time of year. There is just something about celebrating this holiday that brings me closer to my family. Lots more snuggling, giggles, family baking and days spent in our jammies crafting new decorations. sigh...

We are venturing out to get the tree tomorrow night or Sat. morning. Can NOT wait! We were never able to really go out and cut our own tree where we grew up, so last year was such a special treat for the kids (and me!) to wander around the tree farm and pick that "perfect" one to bring home. We are going back to the same place this year and are making it a tradition. Anyone out there get two trees? I am trying to convince the fam that we NEED two, you know, one for each level, right?!

Today I did a lot of cleaning so that we could focus on decorating over the weekend. We are hosting hubby's work holiday party next weekend so I've lots to do! I'm off to get the kiddos to bed now. I'll leave you with a pic of my gorgeous and super duper lovable kitty, Tad. He makes me smile every time I look into those blue eyes.

Ok, your cat is gorgeous.

And I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs. It's really so user friendly (like all of Google's stuff) that I found it entirely painless to get started--unlike Bloglines and Feedburner and some of the other reader services.

I say go for the two trees. I also have been tempted to have two. One in the living room that would be more "formal" and on downstairs in the family room with our eclectic collection of ornaments.
