Enjoying... lots of free Christmas things to do in our city.  We've already been to a free brass holiday concert, viewed all the decorated trees they put up each year downtown, + went to a beautiful lighted luminary walk / open house at the local Botanical Gardens.  If your city has an online calendar, be sure to check it out + keep your eyes peeled for free events this time of year!

Decorating... the apartment up for Christmas!  We got our tree the other day & it's now all sparkly & glowing {still more to do, though}.

Praising Him... for the best gift ever given... Jesus!

Eating... lots of sweets!

Excited... that Christmas break is coming soon!  I've been subbing as a 5th grade language arts / reading teacher for someone on maternity leave.  I love the kiddos truly {some of the sweetest kids ever}, but this is always a challenging time of year.  Any teachers out there hearing me on that one?  {Teacher Confession: Once, when I taught 2nd grade I legit pretended to call Santa in the middle of class & told him he might just need to do a fly over & not stop at my naughty kiddos' homes.  Surprisingly enough some of 'em shaped up after that.  A teacher's got to do what a teacher's got to do.}

Listening... to all the Christmas tunes.

Wearing... cozy stuff, because it suddenly decided to go from 70s to 40s in a day's time.  Say what!?
