Got Yer Holiday Cheer Here

I finished my Christmas shopping this week - save one tiny thing for Husband - and suffice it to say I am now completely full of the holiday spirit. In addition to being full of spirit, Husband and I are now full of caffeine. This is because we got a little Christmas present for ourselves (for making it through the so difficult fall, and for being good little kiddos): a new espresso machine.


 Isn't she beautiful? And she makes lovely espresso too. What is not shown in this photo is that, due to space and electrical outlet issues, this little baby is sitting next to our T.V.. "Just like in the hotel rooms," as Sister L likes to point out. We're not sure where it's going to go when we replace said T.V. which is currently on the fritz. Details, details.


Our neighbors also have the holiday spirit, as you can see. The have these inflatable things for every single holiday. No joke.

And more than any of us, Boo Radley has the holiday spirit. Not because he knows what's going on, but because he has such a fond love of eating the tree and knocking down the shatter proof balls hung with care. Actually, I think he doesn't give a shit about Christmas, but damn he looks good posing in front of the tree.





Am I right or am I right?? Possible one of the most photogenic cats ever. Then, I am biased.

Oh, and are we sick of Christmas music yet? No, not a single one of us. Take that Scrooge McDuck!!

That first photo of Boo with the tree in the background totally made me SQUEEE!! He totally IS photogenic, but then you totally ARE biased ;)

And what a great idea rewarding yourselves with the espresso maker. It's a practical yet fun gift and something you'll use for a long time! Looking forward to you making me a cup one day :)

No Christmas music over here which is kind of sad. I've seen some holiday lights and a few decorations in stores (not talking about Galleries Lafayette of course) but it's not really feeling Christmasey to me. If you dont mind, I shall live vicariously through yours.
