oh christmas tree

I can't believe Christmas is a week away - to do lists are still too long, gifts in a obnoxious pile in front of my bathroom door, and I think we have turned out outside lights on twice (before the snow covered up the switch). But even so it is those little things that I savor - the way Aubrey lights up when a Christmas movie is playing, the way she tries to run away when Santa is around (not a big fan of people dressed up), going shopping with Jason, and driving home through streets full of twinkling lights. I love the little things.
