"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"

This weekend, I got to do quite a bit of Christmassing (which, by the way, is a verb meaning you are having fun doing things related to Christmas cheer). Yesterday, I had a wonderful day of Christmas baking with a dear friend. We baked three types of cookies, which was just the right amount to feel accomplished but not overwhelmed. Not only that, but my friend has a 14-month old, and somehow we still managed to pull it off! (Daddy helped, too.) Have you ever experienced singing and dancing to Christmas songs with a joyful 14 month old? If not, I highly suggest you find a kid and get to it. What pure joy! Oh, and she approved of the cookies.

Molasses sugar cookies, almond biscotti with lemon zest, and raspberry-almond shortbread cookies. Yum! Not pictured: batch #1 of the molasses sugar cookies with twice the amount of butter the recipe called for. (Never apologize for extra buttery cookies.) 

Then today, I went to downtown Seattle to see A Christmas Carol live at the ACT Theatre! (Thankfully, the Seahawks v. Vikings game final score came through to our phones 2 minutes before the show started, so we collectively did a cheer/sigh of relief for our team's 38-7 win today!)

The twinkle lights are out in full force downtown, and the drive home afforded many additional opportunities for viewing Christmas lights and Christmas Tree-laden cars. You know what? It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
