Feeling less than magical.

Christmases Past

Hi, loves.

It has been busybusybusy around our place lately -- we've been packing, moving, unpacking, and when we were aaaaallllmost unpacked, we had to scramble around to get Hubs ready for his flight to Florida for his management-in-training week of fun. It has been a hectic couple of weeks, for sure, but I am absolutely in love with our new apartment and I have every intention of posting photos here... but first, I must finish unpacking, clean it properly, and then decorate for Christmas.

So for now, in lieu of an actual update, you get some of my favorite photos from Christmases past, which you guys may or may not have seen around my favorite corner of the internet -- the Flickrverse.

Papaw, 2007

My adorable ham of a cousin, Emily, 2005

Dad & Mom, 1982, their first married Christmas.

Papaw & Granny's old house during a white Christmas in the 1980s.

Me, wearing The Coolest Santa Hat Ever, made especially for me by the coolest Australian sister ever.

'Tis the season for bokeh and laughter!

So what about you, my lovelies? Are you in the holiday spirit yet? My Christmas spirit has been delayed by consistently above-average temperatures (we're talking 70-75 degrees here; I haven't worn a hoodie in two weeks). Cross your fingers that December temperatures arrive below the Mason-Dixon line in time for a white (or at least flurried) Christmas! ♥
