Christmas Time is Here, Happiness and Cheer!

I'm sooooo excited for CHRISTMAS SEASON!!! When I was little it used to be all about the presents and Santa; I still get excited about presents, but more so about giving them. I don't know why, but I Absolutely love buying people gifts! I got all my Christmas shopping more or less done in Germany, so I'm done with that madness. Along with the gifts, I love the decorations, food, dressing up for parties, and MUSIC! I know Christmas music may seem a little dorky, but c'mon, so is all my indie music lol! So each week this month I will put together a Christmas playlist, of not only old favorites, but indie bands, etc who make some really cool, new Christmas music ( I highly recommend both the entire OC Christmakuh and Sufjan Stevens Christmas CD - but if you buy his, don't buy it on itunes like I did, cuz apparently if you buy it in a store its a 5 disc set with stickers, calender, etc). Along with the music, I'll put items up that go with the song and could end up getting on your wishlist or to get list! ENJOY!

I'm so jealous that you're done Christmas shopping. I haven't really begun. I adore the holiday season though, everyone seems so much happier and the decorations everywhere are a delight.

So excited!
I've waited until December 1st until I am allowed to get excited.
But I'm sure the novelty will still wear off in the space of 25 days!
Just can't quite believe it'd December already. Little surreal. The weather just isn't miserable enough here in the UK..

The OC mixes are always fabulous, they must have some great music nerds working behind the scenes!
