Ho Ho Ho

So, I'm just now getting over a second cold in less than a month. I'm like, what the heck is really going on. I have always been a rather healthy person and now I feel like germs are all around me. Maybe I should purchase one of those masks to cover my face, so I won't have to worry about it at all.

Well despite what I said a few posts ago, I am actually trying to put myself into the holiday season. So I'm not going to hibernate until January as predicted, but keep myself busy enough to make the month fly by. I went home for the first time in four years last Christmas, and the year before that, the parental units came out here to visit me and my grandmother. So all in all, this year will be pretty quiet on my end. I've already pulled out the Holiday cards to be mailed out that I purchased during the after holiday sales of the previous year.

I remember as a kid that the beginning of the holidays would always be festive and we couldn't wait to decorate the entire house. And when I say ENTIRE house, I mean that in every sense of the word. I swear it would always remind people of being in a life size gingerbread house. And don't get me started on the homemade cookies that we would make all season long. We would always seem to have piles of sugar, oatmeal, chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies that would last well into the New Year. I was thinking that I should pull out the mixer that I received for a present last year since I love to cook and bake that maybe I will make some sugar and double chocolate chip cookies this year and pass some out at work, but we'll see.
