carols anyone?

I really really badly want to sing christmas carols. A whole whack of them. And drink tea and play apples to apples and laugh and give someone a christmas hug and dress up in red and green and watch a good oldy.

My room is clean, I just finished, and the stove is working again and we have candles on our table, so now we just need to find a time when you loverlies can pop in :)

And I love Ella Fitzgerald. Random, but oh so true. I just found an amazing set of songs that she sings with Frank Sinatra...I think that she's one of the few who can match his voice "eye-to-eye" (haha voice to voice sounded too cheesy :P) and they just sound soooo beautiful together! The one song has 38 000 or so "listens" on youtube.

I plan to make it 40 000 over the next few days. I love Ella! I don't think any of the other "greats" seem to enjoy the music so purely for what it is. No big show or extravagant moves or speeches...just the music and Ella.

Tomorrow I am making christmas cards. Actually hopefully not just christmas cards. I plan to make so many cards no one would think I am anything but a homeschooler. I am going to card-it-out in my lil' ol' room until all my cravings to make them are satisfied.

Cards are perfect; they're just little, easily-gifted bits of art with a few words to push the message in the right direction. And I absolutely love getting them, so hopefully all those poor souls who are destined to be carded by me feel the same way :P

That goes for you too.

I'm ready for carols, I'm ready to card everyone I know, I'm ready to bake cookies, I'm ready to watch movies, I'm ready to build a long-overdue snowman, I'm ready to cozy up with my cat and a book and read it cover to cover, I'm ready to wear red earrings and green socks, I'm ready to listen for the snowflakes that fall so stealthily, I'm ready to have fun...so I think Christmas can just about start.

Never anyone mind about telling me anything, cause the bells have started in my head and they'll be ringing madly without pause until I have had a very good dose of Christmas <3 Bring on the 40+ list of Christmas movies!
