Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year.  People are generally nicer, the holiday soundtrack puts a smile to my face, the streets are lined with charming decorations, and the weather makes you want to stay in and cuddle.  Last night, my husband and I decorated together for the first time in our new home, and I must say...nothing could be better than decorating the tree with Christmas music in the background, red wine within grabbing distance, Home Alone 2 tivo-ed and ready to go; and Trader Joe's snowflake mint cookies.  The evening was perfect.
