Happy Holidays!

Christmas cookies
that my boyfriend and I made!

Happy Holidays to everyone!  Personally I celebrate Christmas - so Merry Christmas! :)

What are your plans for the holidays?  Today, I'm just spending some time with my family and then my dad's family as well.  Then tomorrow, my family is visiting my mom's family for a Christmas dinner.  Lots of food and lots of company!  Hah!

I'm really only at my parents for a couple days, so hopefully I get a chance to actually spent time with them (and my sister) and hopefully we aren't rushing all over the place all the time.  I'm hoping to relax, since I haven't really in the past few days!

Tell me how your Christmas / holidays / break is going!  What are your plans?  Anything exciting?
