Holiday Hoobeewhaty?

I love looking at Christmas lights. Love love love. A few years ago my friends and I started Tacky and Tasteful, where we drive around a look at lights and deem them tacky or tasteful for our own enjoyment. Just for the record, blow ups in yards are always tacky. Unless it's Snoopy. And then, Snoopy is only not tacky if he's by himself. Multiple blow ups is the cardinal sin of yard decorations. We're totally kidding... except the blow ups. And the moving reindeer. Those things are scary.

ANYWAY. There's a family here in town (except they moved this year so they're not technically in town anymore) that does a fantastic light show every year (except last year, which was sad). But here's a glimpse of their old house and their amazeballs (yea, I brought it back) light show.


I know, right? The fact that they're not in town anymore (and Nappy being sick this week) has put a damper on jumping the car to go sit over there to watch multiple times. But this weekend, my friends and I are finally hitting the streets and the light parks to look at lights! I'm SO excited!

This might be the best thing we've found. Ever.

What are some of your favorite parts of Christmas time?

Oh, How Pinteresting!

In the midst of my dog taking the time to poop inside between 8:15 and 8:30 for the THIRD day in a row, I almost forgot it was my favorite link up today!



Since it's finally after Thanksgiving, I'm finally going to show some of my favorite things about the holidays I've been pinning this week!

If you can't tell me what movie this is from, we might not be friends any more. Just kidding, but really.

This was on TBS this weekend and I got SO excited. I think it's my second favorite Christmas movie.

Ok, I might sound like a teacher her, but I'm thinking about making something like this and changing it out once a month once I move out (whenever that might be... hopefully in the next few months. Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is a job).

My mom's tree is 98% Santa ornaments and how cute would it be if I made these tags for our presents?



What are your favorite holiday pins?

Elf Yourself!

I was looking for a way to get into the Holiday spirit without overdoing it and skipping Thanksgiving too much. AND HERE IT IS! Every year for the past, probably 6 or 7 years, I get really excited about Office Max's Elf Yourself. There used to be just one dance (the Classic), but they've added a new dance or so every year. It's hilarious. I'm obsessed.

Anyway, I made my first one of the Holiday season and here it is. Starring myself and my friends Kendall, Macie, Lindsay, and Amanda:

So, what are you waiting for? Go ElfYourself!
