It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been super busy training for Black Friday like a boss and now it's all over and I am super tired and own a ukulele. There is less than a month until Christmas, and in my opinion and Andy Williams',  it's the most wonderful time of the year. Chocolate pie, mashed potatoes, presents, chocolate pie, and the most important thing ever chocolate pie family. I just love the holidays because everyone comes around and my family is nutty so we do nutty things like watch the old people play super mario and and mix up the mashed potatoes with the alfredo sauce have ravioli eating contests and eat 400 mini hotdogs that my Nana makes. It just makes me happy. There is Christmas music on the radio and I just can't help but smile. I walk into the mall and there are Christmas decorations everywhere and I hear the Christmas music and Santa Claus is there giving out cheap gifts and getting his picture taken with the kids. It's just.....the most wonderful time of the year. I'm still tired from Friday so I'm going to go eat chocolate pie and practice my ukulele until I fall asleep. Happy Holidays, bloggers.
