nobody destroy kif, unless you have to

i love the smell of pine trees. this year, i decided that i wanted a real tree, instead of that stinky fake one from last year. so josh and i went to a nearby garden center where they advertised "premium christmas trees." but when we got there, we looked and looked and couldn't find any outside, so we went in and searched the whole store, but didn't see them finally we gave up and asked, and they were hiding through a slidy door! (there was no sign that said "trees through here) but (almost) every tree was perfect. we got a beautiful frasier fir and the people baled it and tied to the car.
we decided to go with red and green (the lights are green) i bought lots of cute ornaments on sale last year that i can use this year. you can't seem them very well, but there's stripey ones, gingerbread men, candy canes, and those round mints. the same day we got the tree i got bride ornaments from mamsis, so i used those too. i decorated the apartment and even set up my alpine village. now that my shopping is all done and shipped, i can enjoy christmas and start baking and making candy. josh got me egg nog creams from fannie may, and i've been limiting myself to one per day. but i've also been drinking it and today i made an egg nog latte, and it was pretty close to the ones from starbucks. next i'll try egg nog ice cream and egg nog chai. yum yum!
