Getting My Christmas On!

Getting My Christmas On!

All is white! All is bright! The snow began falling yesterday afternoon and is now napping until Wednesday. Bing would be pleased.

After a jazzy brass concert on the 16th of December, something happened that drained the jolly right out of me. With tubs of Christmas all over my living room, I had not one iota of desire to transform our house...until last night: Christmas Eve.

The walls reverberated with holiday swing. We split beef and venison steaks, sipped French press coffee, and had a fireplace crackling on my iPhone. Barry rarely decorates, but he unpacked ornaments and even wrapped gifts. We scaled everything down due to an upcoming road trip, but Christmas magically appeared before midnight.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

French Press and Christmas

I love how this photo captures French press coffee in dreamlike puffs of steam. French press is my morning wake-up call—except when I do drive-through. Even on the go, I pour my aromatic coffee, with MCT Oil and organic heavy cream, into a Bubba travel mug. It features a ceramic coating on the inside, so you "taste your drink, not your mug".

My pressed brew was a lifesaver today because I woke up at 2:00 AM with my head full of Christmas lists. You see, the only thing I have accomplished for Christmas, thus far, is to buy 3 things: a wallet, a purse, and an Alien Green Kia Soul. I refuse to start decorating until our "2015" Christmas tree gets hauled out of our backyard. Yes, you read the year correctly. Barry—plagued with procrastination—is not bothered by what he cannot see. My son, Brock, at least strung up the outdoor lights yesterday.

I get paid once a month, so shopping waits until payday. Hopefully, I will be singing, "It's beginning to look like Christmas" tomorrow.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
