Its beginning to look a lot like...

...CHRISTMAS?!?

We're 5 days away, are you ready? {I know I'm not!}

As always I've left most of my Christmas shopping to last minute, as a result I should be facing sardine packed malls and never-ending lineups. The crazy thing is, I'm not stressed one little bit.

I know that ultimately Christmas is about spending time with the ones you love, laughing, drinking, and well, being merry!

Looking like a snowless Christmas this year...

Instead of STRESSing about gifts this year, I've had much more fun having dinners and drinks with friends, building gingerbread houses, decorating trees, baking, singing along {loudly} to every single Christmas album out there, and checking out festive decorations!!

I love goooooold {and pink!}

I've been loving getting dressed up for nights out with the ladies!

Don't get too wrapped up......           How bout these Christmas Pancakes with Candy Cane syrup?

Shopping wouldn't be such a challenge if we all had a cute little helper.

I'll admit I've purchased a few fantastic gifts for myself my wonderful family and friends.

It is the season of giving after all.
