it's that time of year...

...when...

1. your skin gets so dry you look like an elephant. ok, not really, but...

2. your hands start literally cracking. (I won't provide a picture of my poor hands for your

sake...:P)

3. your room looks like a blizzard. except that

blizzards have snow. and your room doesn't.

4. your house looks heavenly. it's seriously

beautiful around here. we did more then usual,

I think.

5. your windows

and your kitchen

cabinets are completely covered in coffee-filter snowflakes. (guys, these are really really pretty. believe it or not)

6. you're dad calls this sunday "pink sunday". yikes, dad...

7. and you're thinking, dreaming, singing, talking, and worrying about Christmas.

so. *just* to remind you. I want you to remember that...

Jesus is the reason for the season!

Happy Gaudete Sunday!
