Joy to the World

First, I'd like to apologize for the obnoxious amount of holiday-esque I will probably be posting in the coming weeks, but I truly am in looooove with the holidays. I love that this is the time of year where you begin to realize just how thankful you are for the life you've been unselfishly blessed with by our Father. It's a season for giving and being merry. As an added plus, the clothes are just cuter this time of year. 

Although it's not even Thanksgiving yet, my roommates and I put up our Christmas tree on Monday evening. We had my "Christmas Radio" playing on Pandora, hot chocolate to energize us, and the cutest little white puppy helping.  I know, I know...how absurd of us to put our tree up before Thanksgiving right?! But with Thanksgiving not being until the 29th this year and finals week being the week after, we decided that there was no time like the present and we jumped at the chance to decorate! 

How BEAUTIFUL is she? What did I do to be blessed with the prettiest little puppy?! Oh...and there's our tree ;) 

Is it too early to be planning my Christmas Wishlist? If not, then I've totally been planning for weeks now.  If it IS too early...disregard my previous sentence. 

When do you usually start decorating and getting ready for Christmas? Also, what is YOUR favorite part about the holiday season? 

Wishing you the best today and always, 

xoxo
