It’s that time of year again.  Lights are strung, the air is cold and crisp, the Holiday cups are out at Starbucks and I am… locked in the library studying for finals.  I go home for winter break in a week and I can’t really say I’ve gotten into the spirit of the season just yet.

It’s not that I’m not excited about this month. It’s just that I can’t really get excited with the mound of work I have to complete before I board the plane home. However, while trying to stay focused and productive, I stumbled upon We Are Not Martha and their homemade Peppermint White Chocolate Latte (with rum, if you feel so inclined). Just the incentive I need to get myself in the Holiday mindset!

I can now say with certainty that I have not thought about my philosophy paper in over 30 minutes and have instead been listening to my Christmas playlist and scrolling through pictures of my dog in front of our family Christmas tree, dreaming of sipping this festive drink while lounging on my couch in front of the fireplace.

I like to think this is healthy. I’ll get productive later. For now, break out the footie pajamas and Christmas TV specials!

P.S. My dog, being cute and Christmas-y:
