We’ve been eating Thanksgiving leftovers all week, but I’ve fully launched into Christmas mode! We got a tree and decorated the house last weekend and I’ve been listening to Christmas music on repeat… it’s not even December yet, but I don’t mind! An extended Christmas season is fine by me! All the more time to bake Christmas cookies!
