it's [almost] Christmastime again, Charlie Brown!

Have I mentioned how ecstatic I am that Christmas is just around the corner?

proof: 

I made my Christmas header before my fall one & am counting down the days until I can put it up.  I've told myself to wait until Thanksgiving but I'm having a really hard time with it.  In the meantime, I did give in & put some Christmas music on my blog :)

I know what I'm getting most of my family for Christmas & can't wait to start the actual shopping.

I made a playlist of peppy Christmas music to listen to while running.  as much as I love it, Silent Night is not conducive to running.

I "starred" Morgan's post about her Christmas decor.  I just know I'm going to need to steal some of those ideas...like that precious wreath.

back to the point of this post...after reading everyone else's blogs about getting free Shutterfly cards this Christmas, I finally had a chance to sit down & check it out.  so excited!  I put myself in charge of my family's Christmas cards every year.  even though they make the task very difficult, I still like picking out our cards & taking our pictures.  and it's going to be even better this year choosing from Shutterfly Christmas cards!

So here's what I've narrowed it down to [if you can call this list narrowed]...

Now, to decide...& coax my family into taking a picture together...

P.S. Last year I made calendars on Shutterfly for my grandparents & they were a hit!
