Most wonderful time of the year

Yesterday was the first day of winter, the shortest day of the year. While I'm not winter's biggest fan (I happen to like being able to feel my fingers and toes, and no, I don't need any commentary on my choice of footwear, I'm having a cute boot crisis right now) I take a great deal of comfort in knowing that from this day forward, the sun will linger a bit longer each day and soon enough, it will be spring again.

I know I've been a bit of an absentee blogger these past few weeks - someday I hope to figure this time management thing out - until then, I will simply do my best. At least I succeeded in getting all my holiday baking done over the weekend, and thanks to the lovely Meg, a couple sets of outfit photos were taken on Saturday so I will actually have posts for the week without having to scramble.

As much as I adore Christmas, seeing family, baking, wrapping gifts; I am very much looking forward to the peacefulness that arrives when it's over, and I can sit in my pjs, watch Christmas movies, and eat all the cookies I made.
