it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

...but as usual, finals are totally getting in the way of my holiday celebrations and decorating. i am very grateful for school, but sometimes not in december. the month of december should be dedicated solely to christmas activities.

because we are vacating p-town this year for the holidays, we decided that a christmas tree was a no-go. instead, i decorated our topiaries (fake mini trees) with lights. i love how our apartment feels when they are lit up...

and we woke up to an inevitable surprise this morning...SNOW! now it's really looking like christmas. nate and my brothers took advantage of the weather and headed up the mountains for some skiing/boarding.
