You'd think we'd forgotten about Christmas!

With my Thanksgiving post hanging around forever you might think that we aren't the Christmas type.

We most totally are!

In fact, there is almost always a Christmas movie playing in the background (thanks ABC Fam!), Pepperminty treats, and twinkly lights all around. We even Googled which NJ radio station has 24/7 Christmas music. Magic 98.3, baby!

This year we might be lacking the snow and tons of family all around, in fact last year we went home on the 14th (two days from now!). But guess what... we are still very excited for our Christmas in the East. Very much looking forward to it in fact.

Here is what Christmas is looking like so far at the Frandsen's.

Sunday morning Christmas pancakes made by Paul - that Mamma Donna taught him well.

You want some close ups of my snowflakes? Well alrighty! I became a little obsessed with making these guys.

The second most mini-est tree (see above for the first mini-est.)

Suvi from Indy!!

Also! My work is real great, and one day we went out to lunch at Cheeburger Cheeburger (does anyone know about that SNL skit? I don't but apparently this restaurant is based off it). Then we went and got us a real live Christmas tree!

It smelled delicious and we decorated it and drank hot chocolate and listened to Christmas music.

Another Christmasy thing that Paul and I did on Saturday was to run in the Big Chill! It's a charity 5k that Rutger's puts on. Thousands and thousands (six thousand I heard!) of people donate new toys for kids in NJ and run their little hearts out. I donated a Barbie and Ken, haha. Paul wanted me to get Star Wars toys but weapons weren't allowed and little action figures are weird to me kind of and so that didn't work out. Sorry Paul. 

The streets were so full of people you couldn't even run at the start line, just baby steps and lots of flat tires. Even that gimpy knee Paul ran it with me and he helped me get a decent time! Gracias dude.

 So, my friends, have yourself a Merry Little Christmas already!
