Freaking December All Ready!

Goodness, it is officially the month of too much spending and way to much eating!  Every year I seem to get a little less "into" Christmas and a little more into thoughts of a warm sunny vacation.  The whole holiday is just a ton of work!  Shopping, wrapping, tree and house decorating, more stupid shopping, baking, cooking and driving around like fools looking at Christmas lights.  I think the whole concept of spending time with friends and family over a good meal, drinks and delicious deserts has been lost.  It seems to be all about running around buying stuff.  Now that the youngest money sucker is days away from being a teenager, he to seems to have lost the love when it comes to all the Christmas traditions as well.  I knew this attitude was coming.  It has happened twice before around here.  Yes, the following picture depicts how my festive mood is.....

Oh, and if I have to hear that song "It's the most wonderful time of the year" one more time I am going to start drinking at breakfast!  See how the baking turns out then!
