Up until this weekend it hadn't really felt like Christmas to me yet. Probably has something to do with the fact that I did all my shopping online this year instead of hitting the malls.

This weekend, though, the season finally descended upon me. It began with St. Awesome's Christmas party early on Friday evening. There was mingling, snacks, dim lights, and Christmas music. I love that kind of thing.

After that party, Sara, Jennifer, Mike, and I headed to our friend Brooke's place for an ugly Christmas sweater party. It was fun. And ugly. We played this game where everybody wore a bell around their neck and tried not to say the words "no" or "know" throughout the night. If you said either word people could take your bell from you. It basically turned into me and Mike handing our bells back and forth.

Here's how ugly we all were:



Then, on Sunday night, Sara and I finally got around to putting up a tree at her mom's house. I got a nice one for really cheap. And isn't that what the holidays are all about? Being nice and cheap? Here's the tree:


And here's my awesome Flash ornament. Eat your heart out James:


So now it finally feels like Christmas. This week will be filled with wrapping presents, preparing for St. Awesome's Christmas Eve service, and planning the Christmas menu. Christmas rocks!

Nice Flash ornament. I am jealous, but I won't eat my heart out. Gross and probably bad for me.

Sending you a pic of an ornament via email. Lemme know when you get it.
