Giddy with Excitment

I can hardly contain myself right now. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Where do I even begin……Fall flavors, pumpkin, holidays, wine, family, Christmas music, presents, holiday decorations, cookies, baking, sweatpants, fire, hot chocolate, Christmas anything! I am going crazy. So you all know by now how much I LOVE fall and pumpkin so I think it is time to introduce you to my next love CHRISTMAS!!! This is my favorite holiday by far. I love the lights, the decorations, the cookies, the holiday cheer, and presents. I am such a sucker for the holidays. I absolutely do not care that there is Christmas decorations up already. Heck, I have most of my Christmas presents bought already. I can’t wait to wrap them. I love to wrap presents (which I know most people hate)

I always have high hopes for Christmas baking and parties but most of the time the holidays slip away from me and before you know it we are into the new year. But THIS year will be the year. Mike and I have finished working on our house so we can finally enjoy it and fully decorate for the holidays. This will be the first Christmas in our new house so we are very excited. I already have plans to decorate around Thanksgiving so we have full enjoyment potential. We also have our holiday party scheduled so that is a plus.

I have a new goal this year. I want to be one of those awesome cookie bakers/decorators. Have you ever receive those amazing cookies that just look too good to eat? You know the perfect santa’s, snowmen, and xmas trees??



Well I want to start making those. I know this year won’t be perfect but I want to at least start to perfect my cookies and make a tradition out of it. So wish me luck.

I know this will be the first of many Christmas posts….so for all you scrooges out there you better get over it. 38 days till Santa Comes. Hope you are all on the nice list.
