Since we are always gone for Christmas, Brian and I have never really made a lot of effort to decorate for the holidays (at least not inside the house). This year, we are sick of that. This year, we went out and bought an artificial tree. This year, we have our tree up and decorated already. We have already started listing to Christmas music, and we are getting into the habit of having a cup of hot cocoa with mini marshmallows as an evening snack. And you know what? It is great! It makes me feel so cheery. Yesterday and today I loaded a bunch of new Christmas music onto my ipod so we can listen to it with my ipod speakers (thanks parents).
The only thing missing is Christmas cookies. I need to get some cookie cutters so I can make some cut-out cookies and decorate them. I haven't looked around for the cookie cutters yet, but I plan on getting a set that includes a star (one of my favorite cut-out shapes). Hopefully I can find a set that also has an angel and a tree. Also, I don't want the resulting cookies to be too big. I like the medium-small size so I can eat a couple different cookies.

Sounds lovely, but if you're really looking for a Christmas-y feeling, you should try moving to Michigan, where it is COLD and has been snowing ;-)
We're not listening to Christmas music yet, but we have been eating Christmas cookies - I did a practice batch for my new Martha Stewart-style decorating...
