i have a real love/hate relationship with this time of year. i really love the holidays: the decorating, the cooking, the coziness. however, i hate winter with a burning passion, and i get super-stressed out over gift-giving and cookie-making. *grits teeth*
i've come to a point in my life where i've actually come to appreciate kitsch. big time. it's kind of freaking me out. i find myself wanting to make little cake pops decorated to look like christmasy animals. or these gorgeous, freakishly cute cookies:
they are so cute i honestly can't stand it. gah!
i wonder if it's a scary mating thing, like how bower birds get brightly colored bits to decorate their nests. instead, i'll go around making adorable/delicious things to show off. it's a bit of a 'look! i'm totally wife material! look at how adorable my food is.'
scary.
