Happy long holiday weekend! Has the stuffed feeling from Thursday started to wear off yet? Hope so, because today’s the perfect day for brunching with friends, baking a holiday recipe or two and mainly just savoring the glorious feeling of 2 more days before Monday morning strikes again! We put up our Christmas tree and brought all our decorations down from the attic yesterday, and I’ll be spending today tweaking the details and making a list of any little extras I want to pick up this year. I always try to add one or two special ornaments to our collection, plus an item like a snow globe or wreath, so that I build up our stock slowly over time and only with things we really and truly love. Can you believe the holidays are upon us? What traditions are you most looking forward to reviving? Will you be making any new ones this year? And how are your holiday resolutions coming along? I’d love to hear in the comments, and pretty please stop by tomorrow, because we’ve got an extra-special Sunday post I can’t wait to share (a holiday baking party I threw for friends last week!) You won’t want to miss it, and hope you take some time to enjoy these great links from the past week!
