Last night, as my friends and I were walking back to the office from Starbucks, I heard that Eastwood was playing one of my favorite Christmas songs, Home for Christmas by N Sync. Eastwood has been decorating for Christmas ever since November came and the walkways are now lined with Christmas lights and City Walk has the prettiest white trees with lights and ornaments. :) Although the weather doesn’t seem to be cooperating just yet, I can definitely feel Christmas where I work. And because of that song playing last night, I am now playing their entire Christmas album in Triskal. :D

Now that I’m sort of done with the noveling part of the year (even if my novel is far from over!), I’m starting to feel the Christmas spirit. ♥ Although this December will definitely be different and probably be a bit more stressful, I know it’s going to be fun too. :)

I’ll be filling this blog with tons of posts about Christmas pretty soon (and hopefully some short fiction too!), but for now, let’s go a bit materialistic. :D Haha. Here’s my Christmas 2008 wishlist. :D Feel free to share yours too in the comments area!
