Three Things Thursday, Christmas Style

Number One

Tonight, I’m running a Jingle Bell run with my running group. That was a ploy to see how many times I could say “run” in the same sentence! Kidding…

Anyway, out of all our special yearly events, this is by far my favorite. We loop jingle bells onto our shoes and we run down my favorite lake route, after dark, while looking at Christmas lights. It’s amazing. I’ll definitely share soon!


This is not Louisiana – I borrowed this picture from facebook. :0)

Number Two

I’m totally being a Debbie Downer here, but this situation kinda stinks. So, back in November, I was asked to take part as a “host house” in a progressive dinner at Christmas time. I was incredibly excited and slowly began preparing my house about six weeks ago (extra “fluff” outside, put up two trees, etc). I received notice this week that the progressive dinner part has been cancelled. I debated on having a party at my house anyway, but my guest list is kinda small because I was limited on the amount of people I could invite for the progressive dinner…and it’s super close to Christmas…so instead, I think we will just have my family and Jason’s family over for gumbo. I’m excited to hang out with our families (we all love each other), but the general situation stinks, especially because so much work went into all of it. Ah well. Such is life!

Number Three

Contrary to the way I made myself sound in yesterday’s post, I’m not a couch potato. I’m way too ADD to sit on the couch and watch movies – even when Jason and I watch a movie together, I’m usually doing something else at the same time. Basically…if I’m home, there’s a Christmas movie playing on the TV, even though other things are going on at the same time. Oh yes, and I’ve never seen Love Actually. What’s wrong with me?! I definitely will now, thanks to your recommendations!!

Six days until Christmas!

This was from a dinner I attended last week – someone tried to feed Santa a mint!

Anyone finished with their Christmas shopping?
