First things first: IIIIIT'S NOVEMBER FIIIIIRRRSSSTTTT!!!
In my house, that means it's time for Christmas music and Christmas decorations!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am one of those people. No, I will not change. It's my favorite time of year, and I like to make it last for as long as possible. :)

If your concern is, "Elise, you're going to get sick of that music before Christmastime is really here!"
Though I understand and appreciate your concern, dear friend,
I have been listening to this same Christmas album since middle school.
...And I haven't gotten the slightest bit sick of it yet!
(I might've already jammed to a few of these tunes last week. Justin Timberlake forever.)

RED CUPS (not the solo kind.)
You aren't with me on the Christmas thing just yet? That's fine. Because guess who is...? STARBUCKS.
Bam. Gingerbread syrup in my coffee? Yes, please!
HELLO, ENGAGEMENT PARTY!Speaking of the Christmas joy above...well, the decorations at my house are actually going to have to wait a few days. (Though the red cups and music will be enjoyed all weekend!) We're heading back to the Queen City for my little sister's engagement party. I couldn't be more excited!!! Thinking about her engagement party all week long had me happily reminiscing about our engagement party in March of 2012.

Our royal portrait. Because all Englishmen are princes, right?
We tend to keep things on the serious side at our house... :)
PUMPKIN LINGUINI
Okay, okay. Despite the Christmas overload...I still have one more pumpkin recipe to share with you next week. Pumpkin in a main meal (not just coffee/baked goods) has been a new favorite of mine this season!
Recipe on the blog next week!!
UNCONDITIONALLY
Completely unrelated...I'm currently obsessed with this song. I've probably listened to it at least 20+ times (that includes belting it at the top of my lungs) in the past 24 hours. It's my newest happy song. (I love me some Katy Perry. And I not-so-secretly hope that this song is about John Mayer, who I also love.)
---------------------------------
Wanna keep up with us this weekend?! Follow along! I'm sure all insta-overload because that's what MOHs do. Sista's engagement par-tay, here we come!!!! Woopwoop!
We are currently living in Manila, and Christmas music/decor has been around since mid-September! I'm all about it though, I LOVE Christmas! Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteSo much to comment on here!!! First and foremost, JT forever. I absolutely love (STILL!) the Nsync Christmas album! I'm totally one of those people that is ready for the holiday season to start today. Unfortunately, my husband makes me hold back on the decorations until the week before Thanksgiving. I've already begun my countdown though! I can't wait to hear your pumpkin pasta recipe! I actually was also going to try a pumpkin and sausage pasta recipe for the first time next week. And, that picture from your party is so funny! Happy Friday!

It's never too early for Christmas music or movies! And I neeeever ever get tired of listening to Christmas music!
ReplyDeleteI would listen to Christmas all year long if my husband would let me. My girls and I sometimes listen to Christmas music on our morning drives. I have not heard Katy Perry's song but I will probably have that on replay all day - great song!
ReplyDeleteLove the red cups, but really lived Panera's blue cups last year - festive in a different way :). Have fun at the engagement party this weekend! We have one as well for friends in CH - so excited.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Bring on the Christmas music, I love it too! Your engagement party pics are priceless. I love me some Katy P too, best concert ever :) I am going to check out that song now! Have a great weekend, can't wait to see all the pics!
ReplyDeleteOk- loving this post!! (and I'm currently listening to Unconditionally..so good!) I love how excited you get for Christmas time and especially Christmas music...you're just like me! And, I may have, um, had a 98 Degrees Christmas cd that was on repeat back in the 90's. Those were the days.... Happy Friday, friend!!

So on Friday I send my husband the Christmas prep text. We are a bit Christmas obsessed in my house, I have been hunting for the perfect stockings since July. At the end I made the red cup announcement, he is not a coffee drinker but supports my habit :) Ahhh I can't wait :) Love the engagement pictures.
