miscellaneous ramblings: the (mostly) christmas edition
1. it's christmas break.
Break out the hallelujah chorus! (No pun intended. Hardee har har.) Throw a party! I'm so insanely relieved that it's finally break. Two whole weeks of freedom. And fun. And presents. And celebrating the Savior's birth. I can't wait.
2. we finally got our tree.
Yes, yesterday we got our Christmas tree at last. Decorating the tree to the tunes of the Nat King Cole Christmas station on Pandora and a crackling fire is one of my very favorite traditions.
While the Christmas lights were on a heap on the floor, I couldn't resist taking a bokeh shot. ;)
3. my favorite ornaments...
Each year we usually decorate our Christmas tree with white lights and red ornaments (and the occasional green one). But no matter the color scheme, we always make sure to include these guys...my very favorite ones from our whole collection.
Their expressions crack me up. Especially the pig. His goofy grin and eyes get me every time.
This bird is a new addition to our tree, but it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The eclectic, outlandish look makes me love it :)
What are some of your favorite ornaments?
4. christmas is a week from today.
That's kind of scary. I'm having a hard time believing it's Christmas time, for some reason. Maybe it's because the weather is fairly warm here right now. Or maybe it was because I was just focused on school until now. Either way, I hope I can get into the Christmas spirit before it's over.
5. etsy lovelies.
(Left to right, starting at top row: iPod Touch/iPhone case - grey herringbone wool, mustache postcard, the supersnood in camel, Japanese masking tape - beige, mustard yellow rose on grey pillow, personalized custom hand stamped cuff bracelet)
These are a few of my favorite items on Etsy right now...just in case you want to get me something for Christmas ;)
Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? I'm almost done...my goal is to get everything done by Wednesday. We'll see how that goes.
6. feeling unmotivated.
Lately, I'm been so unmotivated photography wise. Last month, I took well over two hundred pictures. (Although, those were the ones I kept. I took and deleted many more.) This month? It's a mere forty two. I apologize for not posting as many photos lately, but I just haven't had many to post. It should get a little better now with Christmas right around the corner, but I'm still frustrated that five or six days will go by without me picking up my camera.
Any ideas to get out of this rut? They'd be greatly appreciated :)
Merry Christmas!
