I thought I’d kick off this Christmas Eve by celebrating a few of my favorite things of this winter season!

1. Eleanor looking adorable in her PJs and boots ready for her classroom Holiday Pajama Party!

2. My brand new super toasty, comfy, and cozy slipper boots! My feet are always freezing, so I usually wear socks around the house, but I slipped and fell in the kitchen the other day, so I decided I needed something with a little tread to prevent future slips! I got these ones at Payless. I also saw some other cute stripey ones at Old Navy the other day, but they didn’t have my size.

3. Scarves! Especially on the fellas!

4. Hats that keep me warm and make me look just a little french. Ooh la la!

5. My Flasher/Kermit the Reporter Trench!

6. Sitting in the living room with only the Christmas Tree lights on.

7. My Grandmother’s Christmas China. Apparently, when I was a kid I told her that I loved them, so when she passed away a few years ago she left them to me. My mother has been clearing out the house since my grandfather passed away earlier this year and she brought the set of dishes to me! I love them! I guess I had good taste as a kid!

8. Belgian Chocolate Mini Bars from Trader Joe’s. Delicious! Especially the dark chocolate espresso ones!

9. My new Christmas mugs! I picked them up at the Goodwill for a buck! Can’t beat that!

10. Taking two weeks off for the holidays! One of which, this past week, has been spent with just Josh and me, while Eleanor has been in school. It’s so nice to get some alone time with my handsome husband. Next week the three of us will be home together all week. I have a feeling we won’t get out of our PJs all week!
