coming out of my closet

posted on: Tuesday, November 29, 2011


I should be embarrassed, but I'm not. I came straight home from Thanksgiving dinner last week and cuddled up in my very favorite Christmas sweater because it IS that time of year, ya know? And obviously, I was way excited about it.
Judge away. I bet you don't own a sweater as warm and fuzzy as this one.
Besides, this bad boy's won me an award or two, so if anyone knows of any Ugly (or in my case, Lovely) Christmas Sweater parties this season, gimme a ring.

The honey got a new X-Box game (he couldn't wait until Christmas), so 'Snuggle Sunday' was postponed. No problem for me, I had plenty to keep me busy while he diligently fought to save the world from nasty little creatures. 
I went to work at my craft table and jammed out to some Sunday Night Slow Jams.
I've definitely been bitten by the 'holiday bug', but the question is, have I gone too far?


Ha. Who am I kidding? There's no such thing as 'too far' during the holidays.


Cheers,

If you're a pinner, surely you've seen something like this. It was so much easier than I expected, and lots of fun too, unless you're my neighbor and had to listen to my blow dryer going full force at 11PM. Sorry!
I made these all on my own out of things I just found around the house. Paper plates and leftover scrap paper. Voila!
My rubber tree was feeling left out of the holiday cheer so I spruced him up a bit.

Okay. Okay. This is overboard. I know. It's just way too much fun and I have way too many extra magnets lying around. It's the holidays! Geeze!

I am so totally slacking on my, Thirty Days and Thirty Thanks, and it's not because I have a shortage of things I'm thankful for, it's just that I'm a slacker. Working on that.


This weekend was one of those weekends you can't help but feel so lucky to have had. Beginning with the obvious, Thanksgiving Day, the weekend opened with the year's feast of all feasts. There's really not much better than that.
And then came Friday night which was just so bright. And so awesome.

Some of the cousins and their cute families came over for hot cocoa, apple cider and vegan-unfriendly goodies (it's the holidays, gimme a break).



As if we hadn't gorged ourselves enough on Thursday, we continued to stuff our stomachs full of rice krispy ornaments, cookies and brownies, then we took our hot cocoa to-go and bundled up for the trek across the street to admire Temple Square's Christmas lights. I've been watching them string these bad boys since August. That's a long time to be up on a ladder, but obviously so worth it.





As usual, Temple Square put together a magical display, but as far as brightness goes, I'd say our smiles had those lights beat. Haha, I'm such a cheeseball. 




Yes, I seriously left the house still wearing my house slippers. Gasp.
Hehehe...


Let the festivities begin!

Happy Holidays,
Kaits
