season's greetings

Are you all ready and shopped-out for the holidays? I'm glad I am done. I've only major wrapping to do.

I wanted to share these photo prints from labokoff called "Pole series" just because these are gorgeous...

And here is a great holiday playlist I found on dailycandy. Perfect to listen to while I deck the halls and make spirits bright!

• “Just like Christmas,” by Low
  (The gingerbread cookies are warm from the oven.)
• “The Christmas Song,” by The Raveonettes
  (Slow dancing under the mistletoe.)
• “Fairytale of New York,” by Stars
  (For drunkenly swinging mugs of eggnog into the wee hours.)
• “The First Song,” by Band of Horses
  (Sometimes you just want to wallow.)
• “The Blizzard,” by Camera Obscura
  (This lovely cover makes us sentimental about natural disasters.)
• “She Came Home for Christmas,” by Mew
  (A hauntingly beautiful song.)
• “Reindeer,” by The Knife
  (Did you expect any different from Karin Andersson?)
• “I Saw Three Ships,” by Sufjan Stevens
  (Perfect for the gift exchange.)
• “Candy Cane Children,” by The White Stripes
  (Only Jack White can make the holidays sound sexy.)
• “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight),” by The Ramones
  (Dedicated to the thorn in your side.)
• “Rock of Ages,” by Ben Kweller
  (For pops.)
• “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” by Death Cab for Cutie
  (A melancholy tune to tug at your heartstrings.)
• “A Change at Christmas (Say It Isn’t So),” by The Flaming Lips
  (Peace on Earth.)
• “Christmas Song,” by Mogwai
  (To get you into the spirit of things.)
• “All I Want for Christmas,” by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  (You’re a kid at heart.)
