Today was one of the best Sundays I've had in a very long time. It started out with a hike in unseasonably warm weather...what could go wrong after that? I even made a trip to Barnes & Noble and got some Christmas shopping done. It was completely relaxing and it felt like I was living a double life. I know once tomorrow comes I will be busy with work and school work (semester is almost done - the end's in sight!) so it was nice to pretend like I didn't have a care in the world today.
I heard these guys on the radio today (107.1 "The Peak" revolutionizing my travels) and found their mellow sound pretty soothing and fitting for this lovely day.
I have also been thinking about the holiday season and what I can do to really get in the spirit this year. Sometimes I feel as if I'm too busy and I let the holidays get the better of me and succumb to stress and a cold but not this year! I am determined to make the absolute best of Christmas and New Year's. I am going to watch Christmas movies, (Elf, Christmas Vacation, Home Alone 1 &2, at least one clay-mation film anyone?) bake cookies, (chocolate chip, oatmeal-craisin-white-chocolate-chip-walnut, peanut butter & nuetella sandwiches, snickerdoodles, sugar) compile the ultimate Christmas mix to jam out to in the car, make a gingerbread house (farm/ranch) and hopefully do a little something to give back that is non-gift related. I feel as if the holiday season becomes too commercial. I long for the Christmas we spent in London and Paris; it's much simpler and more traditional there and I'd love to emulate that feeling this year.
