12 days till Christmas

So my roommate and I have been getting into the Christmas mood.

Well mainly her and she is slowly breaking my Grinch heart......

Last night we went to go pick out a tree. It was kind of fun, and now I feel fully prepared to have to do it myself someday. As we were walking down the rows of trees, picking them up and looking at them, it felt as if it was a completely normal behavior for me.

It is weird because, while I am not a complete Scrooge/Grinch, I am not a fan of all the commercialism and exorbitant spending that goes into this one holiday. Especially this year with all the financial issues around. I can do simple, but grand has always been distasteful in my mouth. So for the past 5 years my Christmas decorations have included absolutely nothing.

And now, Heather and I are starting do decorate the house. With nice simple christmas decor. And so far it looks great.

And our tree looks and smells awesome by the way.......

Oh, and Christmas shopping.....pretty much done.
