Well, no - not actually. But, I've had that song stuck in my head since yesterday!!! How is it possible that I've never heard it until last night? It's quite possibly the cutest Christmas song, ever? Right!?
Besides vegetarian hippopotamusesses floating around my brain - I've been trying to put together a little Christmas cheer for this apartment. My over-excitement for Christmas came early this year. It was a few days before Thanksgiving and I blame it on channel 4 of XM radio. Normally 40's songs, but now for the Holidays its classic Christmas carols and when you're driving through New England on a cold grey day - it just hits the right nerve!!
So yesterday was tree day. And I wore this pretty little 50s beaded cashmere dress for the occasion! I wanted to take home a mangy little scrawny thing, and somehow we ended up with an over 6' Noble fur behemoth. It's lovely, but dang - we had to re-arrange the apartment around it!!! The decorating process also ended up turning into a 2 day ordeal when we quickly ran out of lights.
But I thiiiink all is set now! I'm sure I'll manage to find other little bits and bobs to stick into the branches over the next few weeks.. Last week I was a pom pom making factory, next week - a little bird building shiny nests!

Both dresses you wore are such beauties.
I had never heard that song till this last week when a friend sent it to me and I too was dumbfounded that I'd never heard of it before. It's pure DELIGHTFULNESS and I have spent many waking moments since then (desperately trying to) perfecting it on the ukulele.
It's been on repeat all week!!!!! You're tree is adorableness btw, as are you....as usual.
Yay for mega Christmas tree decorating extravaganzas! And for such pretty dresses and such pretty shoes and tights! Your apartment reminds me so much of my favorite San Francisco Victorian apartments..

I adore your outfits so so much. They are always perfect. Today was tree day for my family too!
I love the pom poms on the tree. Much prettier than plain old ball balls!
Now you got me feeling all festive. That is a damn fine tree you have there, and the pom poms are adorable. Lovin' the topknot!
Beautiful photos! Love your yellow crochet dress!
That is THE prettiest Christmas Tree EVER!!!! Merry Christmas m'dear :-)
Such a sweet set of photos! :) I just love how you've arranged your hair...
We ended up getting a slightly bigger tree than I anticipated too (but then again, I wasn't able to tag along for the tree picking this year :p), which pretty much displaced our bunny's spot in the living room (we set up a little pen and let him run around in the evenings). lol. I love all the pom poms you put on the tree too--such a cute idea!

What a fun, magical day of decoration! I wish I were whimsical and charming enough to wear cute clothes for decorating a house. I'm in sweat pants most of the time! I didn't even decorate this year.
You are way too adorable.
