The Christmas spirit finally hit me Tuesday evening this week, after attending my work Christmas party, and I started to drag out the Christmas bins, set-up the Nativity set, the Christmas books and my card holder while listening to Christmas music. Our work group went to The Ram in Seattle (a local restaurant and brewery) and had a grand time eating and having a gift exchange. I ended up with a plush, white throw and it's so warm and cozy!

Thursday we finally went and picked up our Christmas tree, put up our lights and finished decorating. Our Christmas ornament this year is 3 links of chain - it represents strength; breaking free from debt, fears; and that a strand of three is stronger then a strand of two.
We had a wonderful time Saturday night going to Bellevue and visiting Snowflake Lane. There were hundreds, upon thousands of people, but the music was wonderful and it even *snowed*. We did some light shopping afterwards and then headed home.
Sunday morning started bright and early at 8:30 a.m. and we were on the road by 9:30 a.m. for a day filled with shopping. We started off with coffees from Spotted Cow and arrived at Costco right as they opened. After a couple more shopping stops we finished right at 2:50 p.m. (I promised Nick we'd be done before 3 p.m.!). The evening was finished up with wrapping, unpacking and laundry. We are ready for Christmas to arrive!!
