christmas cheer

we are 100% in christmas mode around here. we celebrated with some of my family in memphis last night and starting this afternoon i am officially taking off work until next tuesday! i am so excited for a little vacation time.

this weekend we'll welcome our families as well as some great friend to our house in oxford for a little christmas eve celebration.  and in preparation i am thinking i'll make this recipe that was on mary straton's blog for a stove top medley that makes the house smell like christmas.

you can find the recipe here.  what about you, how are you spending these last few days before christmas?
