the one in december.

that's right.. december is now in session (or should i say season?) decorations are blooming, jolly spirits are being lifted, lots of coffee and hot chocolate is being brewed up. i absolutely love it.

so first off. the music. my christmas music includes...

unc clefhangers.


james taylor.

al green.

michael buble.

nsync..
brings my childhood back to life!

&&& the phenomenal drew holcomb & the neighbors.
i couldn't find a album cover so enjoy the music video.
seriously, their sound is so unique and rich. loveeee them!


so sarah and i decided to
deck up our dorm with a couple of christmas inspired trinkets:


of course christmas coffee cups.


candy bucket.
this was a halloween bucket..
but i taped on some white printer paper and threw on a cute red ribbon.
talk about twice new. :)


a santa pillow and some more red ribbon to make a normal paper clip holder a jolly paper clip holder!


my charlie brown christmas tree & a long-legged yarn ball santa!

and what's christmas without christmas lights?


now that the room is all christmas-y, wonderfully rich with reds & greens, and with sweet tunes and lyrics filling it up.... it's goal time.

  3. Like'n the Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors video.

    Thinking of integrating your goals section idea into my blog. BTW...great goals! Love the tv or lack of idea.

    My next blog is about an idea I have on family time. No Power or technology every day for a set amount of time. Some areas of Europe do it now...Americans did it as a way of saving energy during war times. I'll explain more in a blog.
