She & Him – The Christmas Song

I’m usually not the type of person to toss my Christmas spirit onto everyone and everything, but I am kind of…a closeted Christmas freak. I decorated the family tree this past weekend – half the ornaments were contributed by me because of elementary school projects and you know, other side projects of my own. The one-eyed Popsicle reindeer, knitted Sanrio ornaments, stuffed Koala bear, and an angel with my face on it? Oh yeah – the artificial family Christmas tree belongs to me except it was purchased by my father and it was the best present to come home to after that one day in fifth grade! Ain’t no thangggg. I even considered buying myself this mini “vintage-inspired” tinsel tree from Urban Outfitters for my home, but that idea kind of came and went.

Currently watching  She & Him perform one of their songs off their holiday album on Leno and it is amazeballs.

I love peppermint Hershey kisses and

every time I return to school and the enormous ornamented Christmas tree is set up in the student center, my heart cries a little. Tears. of. burstful. joy. It’s glorious. There’s really no other way to describe it.

and…every once in awhile, it’s okay to have an obnoxious Christmas post too.
