tis the season....

it's hard to believe the holidays are nearly here. in just over a week we'll be celebrating christmas and then new year's. Where does time go?? this year it seems even more surreal since m and I don't have one.single.decoration at our home....yes, you heard correctly! how sad is that?! we will be closing on our new house next week and soon after that packing and moving. call it lazy, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to haul out the christmas boxes, only to pack them right back up for our move. decorating for the holidays is usually one of my very favorite traditions. since our home is in a current state of borderline grinch-ville, I'm finding seasonal inspiration through other outlets this year...
