MERRY CHRISTMAS! That's right ladies and gents! It's officially Christmas today and I am so excited it's here. I get to do... nothing! Haha! Okay.

Let's get ready to PART-EH! Parties are always so much fun and we're always looking for reasons (or excuses really) to throw a party. Holidays happen to be great opportunities for said parties. In my family, we were always the hosts of a New Years Eve party. My parents would invite their friends, and the… Continue reading On the 24th day of Christmas…

In my previous posts I've discussed traditions that existed in my family when I was younger and still lived with my parents. There weren't a lot of them.

Gingerbread House I've never been one to bake, or cook, or... well any of that stuff! :p Whenever it came to holiday cookies, holiday desserts, holiday meals, or anything food related, I stayed away... FAR away. Hee hee! I'm a terrible cook. I'm that person that burns toast, ruins pasta, and turns lovely looking cookies… Continue reading On the 19th day of Christmas…

Decorations! WHEE! I know, I know. More decorations? YES! This is America! We don't stop decorating until every INCH of the house is covered in glitter, lights, garland, ornaments, figurines, etc, etc, etc. And when I say every inch, I mean every inch!

Frosty the 'Creepy' Snowman Of the many movies on my to-watch list for this season, 'Frosty the Snowman' is a classic. Every one has to watch it. It's one of those that has become a staple in the holiday season what with snowmen being built outside, cookies shaped like snowmen, snowmen decorations.
