You guys, Christmas is SO SOON! I love this time of year - drinking hot chocolate, watching Christmas movies, listening to Christmas songs, seeing all the beautiful decorations and of course, presents! I feel like this time of year is just filled with happiness and joy and I love it.

Being in the south, we don't get the typical white christmas that people up north get. There was one year where it snowed, but usually we just get rain. So it can feel weird doing all these things leading up to Christmas and it not *look* like Christmas outside. To counteract this, I try to make sure my everyday life is filled with holiday cheer, which includes scouring Pinterest for pretty Christmas pictures. So I thought I would share my "Holiday Mood Board". Full disclosure - I was listening to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" while making this, because that is the song of Christmas isn't it?

I'm very excited to almost be finished with work this week. Working in an office everyday has played a hand in not making this season feel as Christmasy as usual. I miss the days when I had a month long break, but I am not upset about the whole making some money thing so I'll deal. Plus, next week I'll be off until after New Years so it'll be nice to have a significant break. I've finished all my gift shopping and I'm pretty excited to see everyone's reactions when they open their gifts. One of my favorite things about the holidays is getting gifts for other people. It makes me happy to give people something meaningful and it just adds to that joy and happiness of the season for me.

What's your favorite thing to do during the holidays?
