okay, not really.
but thanks to the Justin Bieber's recent Christmas single, my sister had his song blasting from our living room for the past couple of days. and then while i was sewing today, i found myself singing Christmas carols. what the heck?! who am i becoming? i am totally the girl who waits till after Thanksgiving to pull out the Christmas music and the decor.
however, i have been most certainly in the spirit of the autumn season. i've had my daily dose of hot apple cider (mixed with some red hots to give it a kick - if you've never tried it, it's uber good). i've been pinning every pumpkin recipe possible via pinterest - and i've had my heart beating over knit socks, boots, scarves, and sweaters.
so until the morning of Black Friday rolls around, i'm gonna fight to keep from singing and listening to Christmas music.
i'm just going to have to stay strong (even if the Biebs and Ashley keep fighting me on this).
much love.
[happy thursday, friend.]

ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about Christmas music and decorations! Not until after Thanksgiving for me as well!
ReplyDeleteYou look darling! XO
It's christmas around here too-our stores, anyways. They're already decked out. Although I do love christmas tunes I think the stores go overboard too soon.
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean! They don't celebrate Thanksgiving here and not really Halloween, it's like they are skipped altogether! I will try to hold off until at least November, but no promises after that!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that scarf!
ReplyDeleteI have totally started listening to Christmas music already! :p
i am totally that person that refuses to have anything to do with christmas until december, but lately have found my mind wandering to the holiday.
ReplyDeleteeeeeep!! I am so super excited for Christmas!!! It is taking all my will power not to bust out the holiday cds!!! PS I love your outfit with the green + red!!! Happy Holidays hon!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...cutest photos! I love those jeans and the red shirt! I love red this season. Cute blog too! xo

I'm guilty of hearing Christmas songs last week.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your cardi!
ReplyDeleteAnd those peeps of red & green sure prove that you're caught the Christmas fever already!! :)
when it was summer i wished for fall. now that it's finally here, i cannot wait for christmas. thank god hot apple cider is fall and winter appropriate !
ReplyDeleteps, http://amandamantes.blogspot.com !
It's so weird that you guys celebrate Thanksgiving so late!! Haha. I guess Canadians celebrate the harvest, so that's why we have it in early October.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how soon Christmas is. CRAZY!
Loving your outfit! Those pants look AMAZING!
ha, i love that everyone is brining up the biebs. i am actually loving that song. and i'm so mad that he made me break my rule, because i never allow myself to listen until thanksgiving. oh well, i guess i can make an exception. plus, christmas is my favorite holiday. lovin' the outfit girl. gorgeous as always.
