Christmas is a sneaky little holiday and I can’t believe it’s less than two weeks away. This is a slight problem because I realized I haven’t done anything very festive yet. One thing I do each year though is watch the movie Prancer. With Sam Elliot (aka the voice of “Beef, it’s what’s for dinner”) and a real live Prancer set in the 1980s it’s hard to beat.

For my birthday last week, Josh bought us tickets to the Houndstooth Ball, the annual holiday fundraiser and celebration hosted by One Tail at a Time. Not only do sales of the tickets go directly back to the organization, but it’s a time to celebrate all the wonderful rescues and adoptions that took place over the course of 2012. I’m so thankful that OTAT brought us to little Chick — she’s definitely the best part about our 2012 — and I can’t wait to see everyone else there tonight with their pups, celebrating the same thing.

The first thing one tends to think of when it comes to Christmas decorations is a Christmas tree. While Josh and I agreed last year that we would get a tree this year (after I convinced him that a fake tree was the way to go–real trees can be harmful to dogs, right?). But then we took a trip to the store and realized how expensive fake trees are (yes, we are that cheap)! So we decided to forego one for now. I can’t decide if this was a good decision yet or not.
Do you decorate with a tree, or no?
