Christmas is in the air

Christmas is almost here....well kind of. I guess we still need to get through Thanksgiving, but it still feels close! This weekend was fun, I went to an Around the World Party, thrown by my co-worker on Saturday night. Everyone had to bring something from a different country. I went with my friend Robyn, she was in charge of the beverages and I needed to make the dish. I can pretty much only make pasta or mexican, so I chose Enchiladas. I thought there might be a lot of mexican dishes, but there really weren't. We had the best fondue (both chocolate and cheese, yummy), empanadas, cheeses from all over. There were a few things that I wasn't sure what they were so I took them and ate them...big mistake. I got the urge to throw up when I was told what they were...Ox tail soup (I thought it was just beef stew), and blood sausage. Nasty...it's made with the blood...there should have been a red flag that went up in my head when the sausage was a dark maroon color.....ick, I'm a little grossed just writing this! It was a good experince though and a good time!

I'm really excited because I've gotten most of my Christmas shopping done. I made a few trips to the mall this weekend and am almost done. They were having some good sales on Christmas decorations, so I bought a few new items (yes, I am an impulsive shopper, I see something I like and I buy it-A store owner's dream)..haha. I really want to put all my Christmas stuff out now, which I might tackle tonight with some Christmas present wrapping. I helped my mom and sister put the tree up in their house, so now I'm ready for mine!

Hope you all had a good weekend....Go VIKES :)
