'Tis the Season

Ahhh, December!  (wow it's been a while since I blogged!)  last weekend Matt and I decorated for Christmas!  We spent the weekend at his parents, and brought my tree back.  I was alittle too excited so we decorated it Sunday evening before I had to get to bed. 
It was so much fun!  I made a Christmas playlist on Grooveshark and we piled bulbs and ornaments on the tree (see the awesome picture to the left)-- along with garland, candles and other fun stuff around the apartment.  I love this time of the year.  It almost brought me back to my childhood: all 6 of us going to the tree farm to pick out the perfect tree, cutting it down, decorating it and just being a family. 
After we were finished, we turned on the TV and what movie was on?  Elf!  I just loooove that movie!  It is hilarious and really gets one in the Christmas spirit.  Now I just need some egg nog!
Matt and I are still working out holiday plans with the two families but hopefully we can get to both places.  I really miss my family and want to be home for a bit... I'm homesick. 
I have a feeling it'll be a good Christmas, and New Year's though.  :) 
Now I just gotta get through two more weeks of work.....
