I’m a slightly thematic person, as in I love to have days with themes even in the smallest ways. I don’t go all out and decorate but I love to entertain a theme in my mind for a day, especially around Christmas. Typically my themed days are pretty basic and include watching movies, and baking things that represent the selected movies…such as Harry Potter movie days with sugar cookies in the shape of wands…or Halloween themed days with spooky movies (as in ones that MIGHT scare a five year old because I’m a pansy) and the sugar cookies with pumpkins, bats and ghost designs. Christmas time is when I really like to get all thematic from my spirit to the clothes I’m sporting. In previous years it’s varied from holiday themed shirts, bracelets and earrings to wearing footsie pajama’s and pigtails all day in an effort to relive childhood Christmases. (Which is actually kind of odd since I never wore footsie pajama’s on Christmas when I was little)
This year is going to be the best by far! My sister and I decided that we would kick it senior citizen style, so my outfit for Christmas day is one orthopedic shoe pair away from making my grandma jealous! I will be wearing a black yarn-woven vest with 3-D shapes and a golden trim. My pants will be the elastic kind that pull up to your rib cage, so, as you can imagine, I will be…absolutely…positively…LOVELY. J
Oh, and since I’m married now I can’t not include my husband! I just know that he is super excited to be wearing his sweater vest shirt! It’s actually a baby blue shirt that looks like an ugly Christmas vest…much like there are tuxedo t-shirts.

In other news….We’ll be going to Colin’s grandparent’s house this weekend to celebrate Christmas, and if it’s anything as interesting as last year I will have LOADS of stories to tell!
Last year Colin hurt his back before we went out there so he was on muscle relaxers and pain pills the entire time. They made him extremely tired and they messed with his perception so bad! We went for a walk around the property and we got to this creek that Colin thought he could jump across. Wrrrooong! He jumped, almost slipped, grabbed onto a branch for balance, which of course broke and landed Colin in the creek on his knees. I wish I could say that I didn’t laugh at him…but I definitely did and couldn’t stop. He spent the rest of the day in and out of sleep while his dad played pranks on him.
Basically…I’m way too excited about this weekend and contemplating spiking some of Colin’s drinks so I can take him on another walk and convince him to jump across a creek.
