It's a cold and rainy day around here. We're cheering ourselves up with some warm cocoa and some Christmas music. 

I'm getting ready to go hide out in the bedroom for a bit to start wrapping presents. I used to be bad about waiting until Christmas Eve to get everything wrapped up. That usually meant  staying up for hours after our daughter finally went to bed ... which didn't result in the most enjoyable Christmas mornings. 

I was looking through pictures the other day and I look exhausted and have a large cup of coffee in my hand in every single Christmas morning picture.

I'm determined to do better this year. I'm going to get ahead on present wrapping and my daughter volunteered to make an overnight breakfast casserole we can bake up in the morning.  It should be a fun and relaxed Christmas. 

I picked another great Advent Calendar treat for you for today. Click on through to today's post to find out what it is.
