Christmas Countdown? Day 1-Holiday Coffee

Is it too early to start the Christmas countdown?  I don't think so...43 days!  Beard-O and I stopped in a coffee shop because I was hoping to catch one more Pumpkin Spice Latte before the switch over from fall to winter but apparently I'm behind and Christmas is already in the air.  I'm not (and maybe never was) a person that enjoys picking out gifts for someone else or having to cram a million visits into a few days and find this time of year way too stressful.  This also could be the fact that I hate shopping with crowds and wish we could just forgo the gift buying...However, putting aside my 'bah humbug' attitude I really want to try and make this year a lot more festive which means totally submerging myself into the holiday spirit (he doesn't know it yet but I'm taking Beard-O with me!).  So even though I spotted Pumpkin Spice on the menu board between other holiday flavours I opted for a Gingerbread one and vow to do one holiday inspired activity a day until the 25th of next month.  I may even be able to make my own gifts and avoid shopping all together...Well maybe not...

(As a side note I do realize there's more to Christmas than coffee flavouring and gift buying but I do plan to explore all sides of the holidays and that includes minor things)
