Yesterday we drove down to Mankato, MN and they had gotten 7.5 inches of snow the day before.  We only live an hour away and had gotten zero inches of snow.  Once I see snow every year the Christmas spirit starts kicking into overdrive.  So of course yesterday when we went to Wal-mart we had to go through the Christmas aisles.  Now what I’m looking for is ideas for different Christmas themed items, cool Christmas wallpaper for my desktop, good Christmas music (SheDaisy’s Christmas album is one of our favorites), Christmas recipes (cookies and otherwise), Christmas traditions (we always watch Love Actually & set up our fake tree together with Christmas music, and drink Hot Cocoa with Creme De Menthe).  Anything you do for Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or other I would love to hear about (I don’t know much about the different holiday traditions besides Christmas and would love to know more).
