Hot Water Baseboard Heat for the win! No one builds houses anymore with it because people think it’s an eye sore, but it’s best heating source! Mom’s visiting today, we’re making Swedish Cardamom Buns, Cinnamon rolls, a browned butter and chocolate Smith Island Cake for tomorrow, and some cookies for Santa.

We’re watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the Jim Carrey version, and eating delicious Chinese food. Going to wrap the remaining presents tonight. Crossing our fingers our pipes don’t freeze or burst tonight, got the water dripping. Ready for celebrations tomorrow!

Eddie Bauer Cirruslite Down Parka (it’s so not a parka). It’s one of those light weight puffy coats.
