I just like it too much to not participate!
1.   The holiday season is  my favorite time of year. I love warm layers, hot drinks and all my cool friends. haha. No, but really, I love spending time with family and friends. I love all the extra excuses to throw/attend great parties.
2.   Snow makes me cringe. I’m really glad that it doesn’t snow too much here in Portland. But, then again, if it did I might not dislike it so much. The whole city shuts down when it snows here. It is unreal and very unfun   .
3.  The best comfort food to eat when it’s cold out is    cookies! Actually, I’m pretty much for all baked goods when it is cold out.     .
4. Winter is the best time for   wearing things that sparkle .
5.  I can hardly wait for   my birthday, Xander’s first Christmas, ringing in 2012 .
6.  When it comes to holiday gifts I prefer to   make them. I really love the idea of DIY gift-giving. I love finding and buying gifts (and I do that as well most the time) but, I really like giving at least one handmade item with each gift. Even if it is just a DIY gift tag .
7.  If I were to rate my excitement about the holiday season on a scale from 1-10, I would say I am at about a   7. I’m so very excited for so many things, but also quite overwhelmed. I almost feel that my excitement is causing my expectations to be too high. I need to remember that my little man won’t care near as much as me if his first Christmas was snazzy.
Happy Weekend!
