We Need A Little Christmas...

....in my case, I need Christmas overload. I llllllloooooovvvvveeee it all. :) I need to stop decorating the house....it's less than a week until Christmas, it's enough!

Monkey has enjoyed finding Cinnamon, his Elf on the Shelf, every morning. Unfortunately, it hasn't affected Monkey's attitude as much as I'd hoped. He's almost four, going on 13 or something. Auuuugh. However, if he manages to live until Christmas (I kid.........), I cannot WAIT to see him open his "Santa" present- a Batcave! It's kind of like the boy equivelent to a dollhouse- only with Batman, Robin, the whole gang. :) He saw a commercial for it on TV, and said, "I'm going to ask Santa for THAT!"....and this was after we'd already gotten it for him. Score!

Hubby's mama will be joining us for Christmas again from California...it will be nice to have her here. I'm not sure she will be too happy about the chilly weather- this will probably be the coldest weather she's ever experienced!

We will go to church on Christmas Eve for the candlelight service. It was one of my favorite things as a kid, and I'm excited to take Hubby and Monkey this year. And since I haven't spent a Christmas with my parents in five years, it will be even more special to be there with them. Christmas day will be spent at their house as well, opening presents and eating delicious food.

I've yet to watch It's A Wonderful Life OR Charlie Brown Christmas. I better get on it! :)

Wishing you a happy holiday, whatever you celebrate!!
