Even working in a chocolate store at X-mas cannot deter me from the love I hold for it so dear in my heart.
I know it's early but yesterday at work I could smell it!!!
And then tonight, while hanging out the washing manfriend said he could smell xmas beetles in the air.
Things Erin <3's about X-Mas:

- Going swimming all day long
- Coleslaw, my Nanna's pasta salad and potato salad
- Christmas Carols in every store
- BING CROSBY
- House lights
- Those giant plastic candy canes
- Those giant REAL candy canes
- Buying presents
- WRAPPING PRESENTS!
- UNWRAPPING PRESENTS!
- Fruit mince pies. Going into to coles, just to buy fruit mince pies. Harassing my Nanna for fruit mince pies. Smelling fruit mince pies because you physically cannot eat any more but are not eat satisfied.
- The way the mornings feel when you wake up (only people who experience Xmas in the Summer)
- Decorating the tree (note: I love this so much I made my family decorate the tree the morning I went to Europe for 2 months as I would not be home to do it)
- Getting to see everyone you know and love. and mostly seeing them drunk (Stolen: The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl by Belle Du Jour)

- Carols on TV
- Watching the Carols on Xmas eve while eating fruit mince pies with mum, dad and man friend
