Merry Christmas!

It may just be my favorite day of the year. I still haven't quite decided between today and tomorrow.

It's Christmas Eve!

Tonight is a magical night for families around the world, including mine, and possibly yours. As I write this I have spice cookies baking in the oven. Christmas music plays in the background. Everything around me is festive and sparkling.

I hope that your day has been wonderful, and continues to be so all through the night and tomorrow. If you celebrate, than here is wishing you a very, very Merry Christmas!

I'm off to finish making these cookies.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A wee bit late, but Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Today's all about family, food and thankfulness. Thus, I'm going to post a few things I'm particularly thankful for this year. Even if you don't live in the U.S., feel free to post yours in the comments anyway!

I'm thankful for:

• My awesome family.
• My awesome friends.
• A warm house.
• The ability to write.
• Having reached 50k in my NaNo novel.
• Stories in general.
• Beautiful sunshine.
• Being alive.
• Hot tea.
• Pumpkin pie.
• Internet. Yes, even though it's responsible for 99% of the distraction in my life. (Okay, slight exaggeration.)
• My country.

The list actually goes on and on, but I'll spare you the details.

Your turn!
