December

It's officially December and I couldn't be happier. I love the cool crisp air outside. Snow makes everything prettier. Christmas lights are my absolute favorite. I love being cozy and warm inside my apartment. Danny and I have already bought us our Christmas presents. We can NEVER wait until Christmas day, I kinda hate it. We bought a fake fireplace that puts off heat, for our living room. It's really cool. I mainly wanted this to heat up our living room and for Sophie. Sophie loves laying by the fireplace so hopefully her and Luke will take over the fireplace so I can have my electric blanket back! (They took that over the day my friends gave it to me) Spoiled. Danny wants a new phone. The Mytouch 4g. I am getting him that. And I wanted a hope chest. It's gorgeous. It's white. When I get it in the mail I will post pictures. I wanted a hope chest to put all my meaningful things in it. So I will have a place for just me. And so nothing will get ruined. It is something special to me. One day I will be able to pass it down to my kids and grandkids. I love having things like that. So we're not left out on Christmas day, Danny and I decided we're going to fill each other's stockings with little things. Stuff we know each other like. I am excited to see what Danny fills mine with. I will get an understanding of what he thinks I like. I think it will be fun. There are presents under the tree for guess who.. The dogs. Danny at first hated the idea but the other day I heard him say, "the dogs are going to have a good Christmas." I may be crazy for buying presents for my dogs but they are my babies and I want them to have a good Christmas. I got most of their stuff half off on Black Friday. BaxterBoo is my favorite online dog store. They had a bunch of sales so I got a lot of stuff for cheap. I was happy. Also my family and I have been putting together a few gift baskets for The American Cancer Society. Like the one I received when I was first diagnosed. I can't wait to donate them. I will feel good knowing I did something to make someone else happy. I cannot wait until Christmas, I can't believe how close it is. It truly is the best time of the year.
