I made the mistake of waiting a little too long to get my Christmas shopping done. I'm not a big fan of crowds and, boy, was the city overwhelming with so much traffic and shoppers. Now, finally, with all my shopping done it's time to sit back and relax.

This past Saturday I went to the Christmas rock concert in my hometown, with my best friend preforming. The concert has been a tradition for the past five years. I adore any excuse to justify dressing up and the concert was a perfect excuse.

The anticipation for Christmas seems to grow stronger with everyday. Now all I need to achieve is to wrap the mountains of presents in my room. For some reason I am now in change of being the sneaky wrapper. After that my day will be dedicated to making buckeyes, another holiday tradition. What are some of your holiday traditions?

Today and yesterday I spent most of the day doing Christmas like things. I went Christmas present shopping,  made Christmas cookies and decorated them too. I watched Christmas in Connecticut with the family and I also watched my mum and sister make Kolachi, which is a sweet nut bread that has been a family tradition for years. My hands are now covered in food coloring and frosting and I probably smell like butter. I do love Christmas time, but every year it takes me awhile to get into it. As we get older Christmas seems to lose some of its flavor. Especially as old tradition change as people grow up or move or pass away. Still I can't wait for the first real snow, so I can have a magical walk about town. But for now I plan on cuddling up with some warm hot chocolate and relaxing. There is something magical about the combining of everything that makes up Christmas, I hope I never forget that.

Perhaps these are the first pair of shoes I fell in love with. I call these my Abby boots-as in Abby from NCIS. They were my first splurge and probably the first thing that I really let become apart of my style-knowingly. I still have such a weakness for these shoes. They are scuffed up now and one part is bent in and uncomfortable. All the same, I still love them. Best pair of shoes you ever bought?

'Till next time . . .
