let the traditions begin

it's december and it's time for all things christmas. FINALLY it snowed yesterday so there is a white skiff on the ground and it's actually beginning to look like christmas! i'm almost finished my christmas baking - just three more things that i want to make. and i started listening to christmas music on the first...because, if you don't start with the christmas celebrating now, it's over WAY too soon. plus, you can't listen to christmas music until december - it's against everything i believe in :).

with my small new family, i am excited to begin some of our OWN traditions...today is the beginning. (the new small part of my family will not be directly involved this year) my sister and i decided we were going to make popcorn-cranberry chains for our christmas trees this year...AND, to make the day even a little more merry, we got ourselves a bottle of baileys and we're all set to begin our festive month! i'll let you know how it goes.
