Dee-Lovely: Christmas Challenge

A week has passed since my last Christmas post, and let me tell you - almost each day was jam-packed with twinkle and jingle. I can't get enough of this season!

Thus begins - MY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE.

This is a challenge I just created for myself, and I strongly encourage you to join in. There are two rules:

Engage in a Christmas activity each day
Report back

Would I have engaged in this anyway? Likely. Does making it a challenge make it more exciting? Absolutely!

Okay, considering I didn't have this CHALLENGE before today, I think I deserve a pass if each day wasn't Christmasy. However, I think I can muster up something for each day, knowing me.

Without further ado, my CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE since my last Christmas post:

December 5th

I attended a 20's group at church and I had a gingerbread cookie. Okay this is a stretch. No points.

December 6th

I researched inexpensive mp3 players for my Giving Tree gift. The 10 year old girl I picked asked for one, and what's more Christmas-y than giving? I ended up buying this one over the weekend.

December 7th

Webb and I tried to make the Los Gatos Christmas Tree Lighting, but alas the inevitable rush hour traffic prevented this from being possible. We still look a walk through the lovely downtown and snapped a pic of the giant, lit tree.

December 8th

One of my besties from BU & LA was in town, and it just so happened to be the same weekend as a giant costume Christmas party in the city! Here we are looking festive & a little ridiculous :) Leave it to Meg Boyle to get me in a costume - missed that girl!!! xo

December 9th

Since Sunday was mostly sight seeing with Meg & co., brunch, some errands, and Chinese food with Webb, and missed an Advent service, I'd say the most Christmas-y thing I did was observe this adorable sweater that Jane is crocheting for Ernie. Guess I can't take credit, so - no points!

December 10th

Watched LOVE ACTUALLY with Webb, and had to hold back from quoting the whole thing. It's in my top 3. And SO Christmasy! That + some pasta = great at home date night.

"To me, you're perfect" - "What's worse that the total agony of being in love?" - "We need Kate, We need Leo, and we need them now" - "let's go get the sh*t kicked out of us by love!"

December 11th

Christmas Caroling in the city! Every year, a family friend of Webb's organizes a group outing to San Francisco to ride a trolley, sing carols, walk around Union Square, and indulge at Ghiradelli's. We had a great time with family & friends and especially loved singing along with the cute kids.
