16 days.

until the greatest day of the entire year. That's right, even better than my birthday. 
If you can do the math, you might have realized that I'm talking about Christmas. 
y'all. I love Christmas. 
I'm talking the Pandora Christmas station 24/7, Hallmark movies upon Hallmark movies, randomly wearing Santa hats around the house, mugs of steaming hot cocoa, and Christmas sweaters galore. 
Basically, my inner 5 year old comes out.
Something about the general happiness and the giving spirit makes me so happy!
The overabundance of sweets is definitely a pro too. 
See what I mean? And yes, we are well aware that the ornament to tree ratio is entirely too high. 
In my family, we always decorate the house together with Christmas music on full blast- I look forward to it all year!

The nice thing about manual focus is the ability to do this. 

What, your dog doesn't have a stocking?

On Saturday, I volunteered at an event at my school where the teachers bring in their kids and we do Christmas crafts with them for a couple of hours + they get to see Santa. 
Highlight of my day: Shelby (above) running back from the car and hugging me around the knees before she left. Heart-melted. 

What are your family Christmas traditions? Tell me in the comments below! :)

P.S. I was featured on All Things Christmas for my cupcakes from last week- check 'em out!
