Christmas is the second most wonderful time of the year....sorry, July 4th is my absolute favorite holiday. What does Christmas look like around here this year? 1. I like to buy Christmas stuff right after Christmas because its so cheap....and this year when I opened my decorations box, I had some surprises that I had forgotten about. BAM, brand new tree decorations this year! 2. If you are on the angel tree and you ask for cowboy boots, you pretty much get everything that is on your wish list.

I hope everyone found enough turkey and fixings to over eat for Thanksgiving. Now it’s time to spend lots of money, spread lots of cheer and be merry. And, of course, it’s time to hit the slopes (or, for me, fall down the mountain). So, here is my gift to you, a bitchin’ playlist (it’s not Christmas music, but hey). HO, HO, HO… Merry Christmas!!! Great Divide, Let’s Get Out of Here Tonight Reckless Kelly, Snowfall Chris Ledoux, The Ol’ Double Diamond Josh Abbott Band, Touch Turnpike Troubadours, Whole Damn Town  Enjoy! And for the record, its not Bryan's fault that this is so late getting posted. I take the full blame!

Black Friday shopping sounds horrible, even in my medium sized town.....avoid at all costs. Plus it like starts at ungodly hours....count me out, I'm still in a turkey coma. Its as bad as I imagine.....right?
