It's That Time of Year.....

Hey everyone! Have I mentioned that I am a total Christmas junkie? Like hardcore junkie. I usually set up all of the decorations around my parents house, including a 12 foot Christmas tree (build and decorate), dining table decorations, the lights over the door and garage, the lights and garlands that wrap around 2 floors worth of stair bannister, and some years even those little light-up antique house things that my mother used to collect (do you know what I am talking about?) all by myself. I used to literally spend two full days decorating.

Well this year I did not go home for Thanksgiving, so I didn't get to decorate the house for the first time since I was 8. I feel so weird having not decorated the house. I do have a small dorm room, but it isn't really enough for me, you know? I have a small Christmas tree (about 2ft by 2ft) that I made from wire hangers, duct tape and garlands (college chic, no?) pictured above with some ornaments that my boyfriend and I made last year. I also want to get some lights to hang around my window.

I don't know, lately I haven't been as much into the spirit of the holidays. I feel like my 2 day decorating extravaganza is what gets me pumped and ready for December, but since I didn't get to do that this year I feel almost indifferent. Especially with the weather. I absolutely hate snow with a passion. The only redeeming quality of snow is that it means Christmas is coming. I woke up to two new inches of fresh snow this morning. Sigh. Snow is pretty and all, but it is the cold that gets me. I can't put on enough clothes to keep myself warm. (The picture is from my parent's deck last year, isn't it pretty?) I am sick of it being below 20 F (around -8 C and below) already, and this is only the beginning. Do you like snow?
