I went for a hike with my dad this weekend, and finally used the panoramic feature on my phone. |

There aren't any ornaments (just my gold pinecone garland), but I've been loving my big, fat tree. |

Someone has been exceptionally lazy most mornings. I have to drag her out of bed. |
I know that everyone is saying it, but I can't believe Christmas is a week away. I still have to finish my shopping, but it shouldn't be too terrible--I'm pretty sure I know what I'm getting. And as much as I love not freezing to death, the temperatures in the Northeast are not screaming holidays--it's been in the high 40s/50s and seems more like spring than December.
I'm loving my job more and more, and I've been getting back into workout mode (I'm planning on running a half marathon in March, which should be good motivation) -- things are, in general, pretty great.
But despite all the good, I always seem to struggle this time of year--a huge part of me loves the holidays and the festivities and all of the things that go along with it, but another part of me has a tough time...in a major way.
In closing, THIS:
