Ho Ho Ho!!!

I still can't get over how fast Christmas has crept up on us! And yes I still have yet to do my Christmas shopping! I was thinking as I was driving into work today that I was boycotting Christmas until it snows! This rainy weather is just not cutting it for December 15th! Also, not going home for winter break has tainted my Christmas spirit. Just last year I got one whole month off for Christmas break and now all I have is four days! So now I feel like I barely have any time off and no time to shop!

Now that my Grinch speech is over with, check out these really cute Christmas cookies I am going to try and make this year :)

Are you ready?!?

I couldn't believe that just three days ago I was wearing short sleeves outside and it's December! How crazy is that and how is it even possible?? Being from Syracuse, we would have already had to break out the shovels by now but even in Syracuse we have yet to see a snowflake. I try not to think about this too much because it honestly scares me! Is this global warming at it's finest or is this just the calm before the storm?!? Now, most people are probably happy they don't have to wake up early to brush off their cars and shovel them out of the snow bank but I am not one of these people! It just doesn't seem right without snow this time of the year. How am I supposed to go see the big tree in the city with no snow on the ground? Or how am I supposed to gather up my snowmobile gear without any place to go to? This honestly saddens me. To me, it doesn't even feel like Christmas! My tree isn't hung and my shopping hasn't even begun! The changing of the seasons is important and I believe that we need change! Change is good, it makes us appreciate what we had and also allows us to experience new things! So who is ready for a big storm??
