It's almost here!! Well, sort of.

Not to set anyone off into a panic but there are 46 days till Christmas. I love saying that to people and seeing their reactions...some stare at me coolly, others start banging their heads against walls at the thought of all the shopping that must get done, and some roll their eyes and say "Oh, Revanna, oh Revanna, oh Revanna".

As much as I love all celebrations Christmas has become even nearer and dearer to my heart since I've moved away. This is the one holiday I get to go home for. I get to see all my people and get all cozy with my family.

And then there's the food, of course. And the presents. And that snowy,

cozy, delicious feeling of Christmas eve, I love that feeling.

But wait! I still have 46 days to go. I still have shopping to do and Christmas cards to write (although they are all already addressed!). And as much as I love that week of Christmas I love this month before.

And now, I promise I won't mention anything Christmassy again until closer to the date...unless it happens to snow. Then I might have to tell you all about me frolicking through the snow singing Christmas tunes.

Zip. That's it. Not another word.

On a completely opposite note take a look at what my lovely roommate made for supper. Mushroom ragu with papardelle. To die for!

P.S. I have no idea why the words are so colorful at the beginning....kinda neat...kinda annoying!
