I came across the idea of 12 dates of Christmas a couple of years ago, and loved the idea.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to go on 12 dates in December?  Now, I’m sure everyone will have their own interpretation of what constitutes a “date,” but my standards are pretty loose.  (← Haha, quiet.)

Our first date was heading to Home Depot to pick out our Christmas tree on December 1.  (Like I said, what I consider a “date” is pretty easy to qualify for.  Lucky KC.)

Our second date of Christmas was staying home on Friday night with the fire going, and watching The Family Stone together.  It always makes me cry, but it’s one of my favorite holiday movies, and I still love watching it every year around this time.

Our third date was getting dressed up real fancy and heading into the city for KC’s office’s annual holiday party.  They go all out with this event, and this year was no exception.  They rented out the City View Club at the Metereon and had a huge open bar and tons of different food stations with all kinds of small bites.  Not to mention that people were wearing everything from what appeared to be formal evening gowns to Forever 21-style club attire.  (I always find it interesting what people deem appropriate to wear to work parties…  I think maybe I’m just not that brave to take those kinds of fashion risks!)

Our fourth date was sleeping in after our late night out at KC’s work party, and having a slow morning of Christmas coffee and good conversation.  Sometimes being extra-lazy is just the best, isn’t it?

We’ve still got eight dates to go!  I can’t wait 🙂
