Christmas Countdown:

You always want the exact time when discussing the Countdown to Christmas!

Christmas is almost here and I couldn't be more excited! Actually I could, but I don't have enough vacation to make that happen. Honestly I can't believe it's already December 13th. I've been ready to celebrate Christmas since before Thanksgiving. Michael Buble is my Christmas music of choice this year and I can't get enough. I think I will go through withdraw when I have to file the music away on December 26th. Everyday I listen to it on the drive home from work. Call me crazy, but some evenings as I'm driving down GA-400 and stop for the toll (Yes... I have a 50 cent toll to and from work.), the Marta flies by at just the right time and it feels like I'm in a Christmas movie! Stupid, right!?!?! But I smile and turn up the music. I've never been a city girl...

With only 11 days left, there are still a few things left on my list of Christmas Must-Dos!
1. Wrap the 4 gifts I have so far. Thanks to my lovely sister, I don't have much Christmas shopping to do! Thank goodness!!!! :)
2. Watch all my favorite Christmas movies! Christmas Vacation was on ABC Family last night. I still need to watch Elf, The Polar Express, White Christmas (a family tradition), and The Grinch. If I wanted to work really hard I might try and find The Night They Saved Christmas! I can remember watching this movie at my Grandparent's house during their annual Christmas party when I was little. (Remember, Lo?)

3. See some Christmas lights! There are a lot of places to see them in ATL, but I just want to drive around some of the beautiful neighborhoods at night. I drove past a house last weekend with a TON of blow-up yard ornaments. Like they are trying to hit a world record or something! I am determined to go at night and take a picture. Dylan has to see it! I will try to have it by next week.
4. Make Christmas cookies!!! This is usually a tradition with my mom and sister, but seeing as my trip home will be so short this year I might have to tackle this one on my own.
5. Take Walter to see Santa Claus! Is that too much?? We'll see if I can make it happen.

I think that's all for now. Maybe I can get one more post in before the holiday! Until then... have yourself a merry little Christmas.


XOXO,
