On the 12th day of Christmas…

I can’t believe I’ve reached the 12th day already.  When I started this little event three weeks ago it seemed like Christmas was a long way off. But here we are on eve of Christmas Eve…time really does fly.  We’ve reached my very last favorite thing about Christmas…and that is the actual holiday itself.  Tonight and…

On the 11th day of Christmas…

I originally wanted to title this post “Jesus wasn’t the only one born in December”.  That’s the line that J put on the invites to my 30th birthday party and it cracked me up.  I thought it was good enough to dust off and trot out again this year.  But I have this whole theme…

On the 10th day of Christmas…

Last night I was up very late wrapping presents…which is my 10th favorite thing about Christmas.  The whole wrapping process is a big deal for me.  And it is a process.  It starts out in late November, when the search for the perfect wrapping paper begins.  Some things you should know… I rarely use the…

On the 9th day of Christmas…

Today I want to talk about holiday baking.  My love of baking is a well established fact around here, but my love of holiday baking goes above and beyond.  One reason is that it’s a far bigger undertaking than making some cupcakes or a layer cake.  It’s cookies and cupcakes and bars and cake and…

Random Musings Friday…

Happy Friday!!!  This week at work has been insane.  The family I work for is traveling for the holidays and they are leaving tonight.  So we’ve managed to cram everything we usually do the last three weeks of the year into the past four days.  It’s been a pile of laughs and a really good time. …

On the 8th day of Christmas…

There is a reason they call it the Radio City Christmas Spectacular…and that is because it is, quite frankly, a spectacular show.  I’ve probably seen it 20 times in my life and every time I love it just as much as the first time.  When the lights go down and the curtain goes up and…

On the 7th day of Christmas…

Part of what I love about the holidays is the weather.  I despite being hot and sweating, so I love when we start to get a chill in the air.   Winter is my favorite season.  I love the cold and I love the snow.  12 degrees outside?  Fantastic!  A nor’easter is coming to dump 20 inches…

On the 6th day of Christmas…

I love cards.  I love getting them and I love sending them.  The funnier they are, the better. My favorite cards of the year are Christmas cards.  I used to search and search for the perfect cards…funny, yet not offensive.  It took a lot to find the perfect cards.  But I didn’t have kids, so…

On the 5th day of Christmas…

Good morning and welcome back to the 12 days of Christmas here at Fumbling.  We had a very busy weekend at our house.  Lots of Christmas shopping and wrapping and card writing…it was a little chaotic, but fun.  I’m happy to say that all of my shopping is now complete…thank goodness.  Everything else is still…

Random Musings Friday…

Ahhhh…Friday…my favorite day of the week.  As much as I’ve been enjoying the 12 days of Christmas, I am happy to do a random musings post today.  I have lots to tell you this week… On Sunday, J and I went to the Giants’ game and, man, was it freezing… All you could see was…
