D-E-C-E-M-B-E-R

Things that come to mind:

-shopping

-crowds

-stress

Luckily, the pictures below keep me in a cheerful mood:

I absolutely LOVE sitting in our living room with the lights off and just staring at the tree and its sparkling lights while listening to Christmas music!!

These are Braden's awesome new ornaments this year.

We all get a little carried away this time of year and this quote helps me keep in mind the REAL reason for Christmas!

Just because...I love this decoration

And even Remi is excited for Christmas. And yes, he really does like his sweater!!
