I've got the warm and fuzzies




 

It's that time of year where Christmas carols get stuck in your head, the thoughts of presents under the tree, a cup of hot cocoa or a big glass of red wine, a crackling fire, a big warm fluffy sweater and toasty slippers enter my mind and I get a case of the "warm and fuzzies".  However this year, It's been 65 degrees if not warmer lately, and getting into this zone has been tough...and I've been missing that wonderful feeling!  Granted it's the last day of November but I want the warm and fuzzies, dammit!  I've been hunting down my warm and fuzzies the past several days.  I put up our Christmas tree over the weekend, and hung the stockings on the fireplace mantle...but still I've been in disbelief that it is already Christmas time?  Where is the cold weather?  Where is the snow?  Is it really the weather that gives me the warm and fuzzies?  Good thing I don't live in Florida... 

  

 Well today...I did some Christmas shopping online.  I also picked up a magazine filled with cookie recipes that I cannot wait to dive into with some friends to make a shmorgishborg of Christmas goodness.  That's right...that's all it took, I've got the warm fuzzies people!!  Shopping and cookies!  What is giving you the warm and fuzzies this year?
