1. Christmas shopping with the bestie and actually getting things accomplished. Yes I had coupons, and lists and objectives coming out the wazoo, but I managed to use all the coupons, check off 95% of the lists, and meet most of the objectives. Aside from the rain, and the people and the cold and the lines, it was a great evening.
2. Contrary to my stress levels at this particular moment, I'm actually in love with all the crazy craft projects I have planned as gifts. I'm hoping they turn out as cute as they did on Pinterest and all the recipients love them as much as I do.
3. Coworkers who have ganged up on me and decided that it's time for me to join Match.com. While I'm terrified of what they might do left to their own devices, I'm actually liking the idea of not doing it all alone. Socially inept me could use all the help I can get.
4. Having the Christmas tree up and finished. I love, love, love sitting by the light of a Christmas tree in December. There's something so calming and so wintery about it. And, even if I do say so myself, the tree looks quite dashing this year : )
5. Christmas books: It kinda goes without saying, but I'm a bit of a reader and there's nothing better than getting a new stack of Christmas books to read in the month of December. I've already knocked out "Christmas Bliss" by Mary Kay Andrews and started "Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe" by Jenny Colgan this week. Next up is "Immoveable Feast - Christmas in Paris" hopefully followed by the other 2 I have on my Christmas list. Nothing puts me in the spirit more than curling up next to the tree light with a big cup of hot chocolate and a great book - that is of course if I ever have any time between the decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking and crafting...
