A Good Ol' Christmas Mixtape

I'm finished with exams and back in my home town, in my Mama's house. It smells juniper berry, ginger bread and other delicious baked goods. S is coming home for the holidays soon, and one of my closest friends from college is coming to town tomorrow for a visit. There is so much to look forward to!
I'm sorry that I haven't found the time to read your guys' posts. I've been so busy with baking, shopping and making gift tags, but I also made you all ♫ a little collection of my favorite Christmas tunes ♫. We've had Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's  "The Christmas Songbook" playing in the background for each Christmas since the beginning of the nineties. Although I wouldn't call myself a country fan, some of the songs bring back the true feeling of Christmas for me. 
What have you been up to this week? How are you preparing for the holidays? Any crafting going on?
