Getting into the Christmas Spirit

For some reason, I am extra pumped for the Christmas season this year. Maybe it's because my co-teacher Natalie is Christmas crazy. I meant to get some garland to hang in our apartment to make it smell amazing, but I don't think that's going to happen now because there's only one more full week until Christmas break!!!!

These are some of the wonderful things about this time of year:

Celestial Seasonings Holiday Tea. It's the best! I'm currently sampling Sugar Plum Spice, Nut Cracker Sweet, and Candy Cane Lane.



These are the quintessential Christmas albums:

Charlie Brown Christmas! We've discovered that this is the perfect album to play in the classroom when we want the kids to chill out and get some work done. It also helps us teachers relax, too. I recommend that you play it at your home or workplace, too.

A Christmas Gift to You from Phil Spector!

Low's Christmas album. Perfect. Making me excited to spend some time back in the great state of Minnesota.

Hanson's Snowed In. A classic, duh.


Have a merry Christmas/Hanuka/Festivus, everyone!

I just don't care to hear another word about Tiger Woods or Sarah Palin. Who cares anyway?!?!

What is interesting to me is the rumor about Billy Corgan dating Jessica Simpson. WHAT??!?!?
