The Night Before Christmas

Original title, I agree. But it reminds me of one of my most favorite films, The Nightmare Before Christmas. I love anything by Tim Burton (double points if it features Johnny Depp, yum).

It's a little sad how Christmas has lost a little bit of its luster over the years. It just seemed so much more magical when I was a child; now, it comes sooner than I am ready for it, but just thinking about preparing for it is almost exhausting. Don't get me wrong: I love Christmas and this is my favorite season of the year. But there's less of the anticipation, less of the countdown.

Anyway, that was my random rant. I hope everyone out there in blogworld has a wonderful Christmas (and if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful day anyway). I was thinking about what I have to buy for my kitchen when I get back to my apartment at the end of break:

  • Larabars (I love the Coconut Creme Pie, Cashew Cookie and Cinnamon Roll. I haven't tried Gingersnap or Peanut Butter yet). I used to live off the Lunabars (I love the Peanut Butter Cookie, Brownie, and Chocolate Raspberry), but they didn't keep me full. I kept eating 2 or 3 at a time - it was dangerous.
  • plain oatmeal
  • oatmeal toppings (inspired by all you guys!): coconut flakes, chocolate chips (for weekends only of course), cinnamon
  • peanut butter (it'll be a challenge to have peanut butter in the house)...I'm excited about trying Peanut Butter & Co.'s different flavors, especially the maple and dark chocolate ones
  • flavored teas (I have the Sugar Cookie Sleigh right now), especially those of the chai variety

My goal is to spend less money on food - it really racks up, especially those coffee runs. I want to eat healthy, eat less crap, more vegetables. I want more money for clothes!
