It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

December 17th, 2010

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere I go. Take a look in the five-and-ten, Glistening once again.

My 12 Days of Christmas List.

December 11th, 2010

Do you guys do Christmas lists? My family is demanding a Christmas registry. (So here you go, Family. And feel free to completely forgo this list. Or don’t get me anything, and just write down your favorite recipes cards. That would be fine too.) I’m not very good at these lists. In years past, I’ve [...]
