Ready for Christmas!

I'm so excited for Christmas! Usually I am staunchly against listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving... but for some reason I caved this year. I am just so ready for Christmas! So here I sit, blogging, and listening to Christmas music on internet radio. And fully enjoying it.

I broke out the red/green socks too. They make me so happy inside! Cool socks in general make me happy, but Christmas socks are the bestest!

I can't wait for peppermint hot chocolate, and candy canes, and ugly holiday sweaters, and snuggling by the fireplace, and decorating Christmas trees...

I'm especially excited for the SMELLS of Christmas! I was discussing this with Jessica, and there are at least 30 smells I associate with Christmas. I catch myself smelling things all year round and thinking, "Mmmm, that smells like Christmas!"

Here is a small list of scents I associate with Christmas:

Pine ~ Cinnamon ~ Vanilla ~ Chex Mix ~ Pear ~ Apple Cider

Chocolate ~ Mint ~ Orange ~ Fireplaces ~ "New" smell ~ Wrapping paper

Tape ~ Old sweaters ~ Pinecones ~ Cookies ~ Cherry

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
