Friday Five 2.0 - Christmas Coutdown
Happy Friday! How was your week?
I'm linking up with Running on Happy & Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five 2.0.
Christmas is so close that I can almost smell the oranges and peanuts!! Yes, for me Christmas smells of oranges and clementines, all together in a bag with peanuts.
Today I have 5 things random things that I'm looking forward to or got me through this week
1. Going to the Movies with my brothers this weekend- My brothers and I are going to see Star Wars, The Rogue One this weekend. I'm always excited to spend time with my brothers.
2. Wrapping all the presents! We are supposed to get snow overnight, and it's cold... that makes it perfect to wrap gifts and clean out the closet.
3. Madonna Carpool Karaoke- I love this James Corden Series ! I sang along with Music, that's my favorite Madonna song! I used to dance that song in college until they kicked me out of the party.
4. Suzy's Gift Guide- there is all sorts of Gift Guides for people out there, but this one from Suzy is the most perfect one! This gave me the idea of what to give my son's teacher.
5. OmG!!! That's all I have.... Wait... let me dig deep..... Coffee!! I love coffee and will be having massive amounts of coffee today and this weekend. Hopefully with a pastry!
Have an awesome weekend!!
Did you wrap your presents yet?
Are you waiting to throw them all in gift bags and call it a day?
What is your favorite Madonna song?
Going to see the Rogue one? Or are you lucky like Heather and already saw it?
What does Christmas smell like for you?
And my Christmas song for the day...

Ha ha ha! Omg, thanks for the shout-out! I'm curious to know exactly which gift you chose for your son's teacher..... heh heh! Enjoy the snow, if you can. Ours is still lingering around and I feel like I haven't run outside in months! GAH. But yeah, I did get lots of wrapping done while being stuck inside.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a bottle of wine or a bottle of rum, whatever I can grab at the liquor store that morning. I'm helping out, so it's not like I will be sending it to school with my son.
DeleteI will enjoy the snow for about 5 minutes, then will be dying to get out! I can't deal with being inside too long.
Have fun at the movies! I did not know we were supposed to get snow. I wanted to run "longish" tomorrow. I will check the forecast...
ReplyDeleteChristmas smells like balsam and fir to me! But mostly balsam. Whenever I smell it, I think CHRISTMAS!
I think your son's teacher would LOVE a bottle of wine. I mean, is there anyone who doesn't love a bottle of wine????
I freaking loved Madonna in HS and college. I would watch her tours all the time. My favorite songs... omg so hard to pick. I will pick some lesser known ones that I really like: Love Profusion, Bye Bye Baby, and Dear Jessie. Listen to them!
Have you ever heard her song "Gang Bang?" Look it up! It's a bit.....dark. Ha.
DeleteThe snow is coming tonight, and it's supposed to clear by tomorrow nightish. We are ready to make pancakes and coffee.
DeleteBottle of wine it will be then! I'm thinking a chianti or a red... we shall see what the liquor store has.
I'll check out those songs, thanks for the rec!
yes!! I love the balsam smells too!
Wow Karen! you are brave! I have to pick up something for my niece tonight and I'm dreading going to the store.
ReplyDeleteMaterial Girl and Holiday are good ones!!
I don't think we are getting snow here but I do hope to have all my gifts wrapped tonight! It will be such a great feeling to have everything done this weekend! Enjoy the movie!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got all your gifts wrapped!
DeleteChristmas to me smells like cinnamon rolls, fresh from the oven & peppermint.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have bought no presents for anyone. Which, I think is okay. My parents want Netflix & if my brother would text me back I would know if I need to organize that or if he will, but TBD I guess? But I'm definitely the shove it all into a bag type! Haha.
Yums! Cinnamon rolls!!
DeleteThat is an easy shopping list!
thanks for that now I just want to go put on some Madonna and dance around before my kids get home :)
ReplyDeleteDancing and singing to Madonna never hurt anybody! Right!
DeleteAww... that's so sweet that you're having another Star Wars movie date with your brothers :) I haven't seen that Madonna carpool Karaoke yet. I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteWe liked the movie! it was awesome!
DeleteIll be wrapping gifts this weekend too! We are supposed to get freezing rain and ice tomorrow morning, yuck! Ill be drinking lots of coffee as well!
ReplyDeleteThe coffee is essential to stay warm AND awake!
DeleteI love everything Madonna. She's a flippin' musical genius and an icon. I don't do a lot of gift wrapping these days...the kids want gift cards (so I wrap those in tiny boxes), but it's not as fun as it used to be when they got real presents. Icky weather on tap for Iowa...so lots of chai latte's on my roster ;-)
ReplyDeleteYums!! Chai lattes go perfect with icky weather!!
DeleteI am jealous of your non wrapping days!
We'll see Rogue One, but later, when it's not so crowded. My husband hates crowds. Although when he was much younger, he would have waited on those lines.
ReplyDeleteGift bags all the way . . . if that even happens. :)
The movie wasn't too crowded when we went, maybe it was the ice storm that kept everbody away!
DeleteWe've got fresh snow on the ground this morning--which I'm going to attempt to run in--and we are getting more tonight. All before another polar vortex returns to Chicago. Guess this is the price we pay for such an awesome fall! "Tis the season!
ReplyDeletePolar Vortex!! no fun!! yikes! Yes, 'tis the season for ice everywhere ! not ok!
DeleteI have all my presents wrapped. Just waiting on one more to arrive and I'll be all ready for Christmas. Not having to work really rocks. :)
ReplyDeleteman! If I could ever use a few days off, it's the week before Christmas! I hope you get the last present soon!
DeleteI find wrapping presents so relaxing for some reason. I hate shopping for them, but setting out all the paper and getting comfortable for an hour span wrapping is really a nice way to spend an afternoon lol!
ReplyDeleteIt is very relaxing! I agree! and it looks so pretty when done!!
DeleteWe kind of stopped doing Christmas presents in my family since it was getting lame since we don't need anything and there are no kids! Dan and I did buy a trip to Mexico for next June (wish we were there now!!)
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get my family to stop with all the Christmas presents, but they don't want to stop. I am so jealous of your trip to Mexico!! Have fun!!
DeleteHaha, sounds like you have a great weekend planned! I ran in the snow this morning. It was tough!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with running in the snow, my shoes need more grip!
DeleteHa- I actually just bought wrapping paper this afternoon, my plan is to wrap all afternoon tomorrow. I'm typically a Christmas Eve wrapper ;)
