have a merry weekend.

hooray for the weekend. this week was a bit funky for us. weather wise that is. it's been warm. reached the sixties yesterday. today we're enjoying a quiet day indoors since rain decided to pay us a visit. as i write this, piri is snoring on our bed in front of the space heater. he looks incredibly adorable. 

what do you have planned for the weekend? 

we're picking up pretty parchment and wax paper, gift boxes and cello bags to send our holiday cookies in. i did a test run of some jelly filled butter cookies last night and they were tasty! we're going to use these pretty downloadable holiday tags created by jessica over at the creative index {she's so talented! and her cocker spaniel looks just like mine!} and hopefully these cookies will be shipped by next week. crossing my fingers! 

our holiday cards also came in the mail yesterday. they are from minted. i love them. {i actually love their entire non-photo card collection}. we opted to do a non-photo card this year. i love the typography, the greeting and the simple sign-off. so we'll also be writing notes to our friends and family members all weekend long. this is really the best part about christmas. writing snail mail. 

hope your weekend is merry and bright! 

ps - i laughed so hard{!!} at some of the childhood christmas stories you shared on this post. thank you so much for sharing them. oh the things our parents did to make us believe in santa. i was also very touched at non-memory related comments about hard working parents. made me realize to hug my parents extra harder. they live in korea now so this morning i sent them an e-hug. extra hard e-hug.
