Listen to your inner child.
What does he/she want to do today?

On the 18th, I went to Christkindlmarkt in Chicago. My inner child wanted to spend lots of money on adorable Christmas decor from Germany and eat apples fried in dough right before dinner. ha! So I did. :)
I have only been to Christkindl for 2 years in a row now, but it is quickly becoming one of my favorite holiday time traditions. I don't think I would've really appreciated it as a child anyway. Now that I've actually been to Germany a couple times, I really enjoy the thought of a little bit of Germany coming to ME. The food, the sights, the music. :D
Okay, it was freezing out there this weekend. But the Glühwein kept us warm enough to see the vendors.
My husband and I decided that we were going to buy a new smoker to go with the one we purchased last year: this little lion in lederhosen.
Well, we splurged and bought two new ones...
Saint Nick.
And this one...because I thought this little snowman one was just to cute to leave without (apparently so did a lot of other people because he was the very last one).
My "inner voice" tends to be the thing that stresses me out... that makes me second guess things. When I hear those kinds of thoughts, I have been trying to quell them. I worry too much! However, from now on, I will try to make more of a conscious effort to listen to the voice when she wants to be spontaneous or have more fun. Who doesn't want to have more fun?
P.S. I also finished painting my little house for the year! In progress picture was here.
