The Holly Jolly Holiday Tag

Hey Lovelies!

Yay! It's Christmas Eve's Eve! I love the 23rd! All the last minute rushing around before the big day, cooking and baking up a storm, and hanging out with your family while listening to christmas music and watching christmas movies around the fireplace. I adore it all.

I wanted to do "The Holly Jolly Holiday Tag" that is going around the internet.
