that time of year.

yes...that time of year. when i hang christmas lights in my room, parade around in footie pajamas, sleep in front of the fire place, listen to comforting music over and over, and drink luxurious hot drinks.


this is me during winter. every night. you see...i have a love/hate relationship with the cold. this morning, it was exclusively a hate relationship. right now, it's mostly a love relationship. pictured above, you can see my {ghetto} christmas lights, my {new best friends, aka my...} footie pajamas, and the best mug ever {courtesy of the lovely thruston family}. and yes, that mug is almost as big as my head. {how else am i supposed to take countless trips to the bathroom at ungodly hours of the night/early morning?!}

i just really love curling up in bed for days at a time and losing myself in books. and falling asleep in front of the fireplace while watching the snow fall. and laying on the couch and watching the christmas lights flicker. and snuggling up with fuzzy blankets and warm clothes. and drinking hot tea or cider. and i just can't do these in the summer. i can't even do them when it's like 50 degrees {uhm sorry texas winter, but i have a hard time enjoying you}. so {for now} i'm enjoying this weather while i can!
