Haul out the Holly...?

As most of you know few things in life bring me as much instant happiness as Christmas. All things Christmas... but especially decorations. I L-O-V-E decorating for Christmas. Christmas music, hot chocolate, white chocolate dipped oreos... ooh I can hardly wait. Don't get me wrong my all time favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving is the official start to the Christmas season... is it not? Of course, because we are newlyweds, our budget does not really allow us to go crazy with Christmas, so I'm spreading my shopping over the next few months ;). This month I purchased our Christmas stockings (shown above: the two on the left). I am so stinking excited. I love them. I can't wait to hang them on our chimney with care for years to come... or in our case this year pin them with a thumb tack on the wall.
