almost christmas!

Christmas is almost here!!!!! I''m trying to experience every last ounce of Christmas I can before its here. I'm very excited about the gifts I got everyone and I can't wait for them to be opened. Mike is also taunting me with hints about his gifts. The anticipation is killing me. Anyway after being sick for a few days I'm definitely feeling a little bit better so I was able to finish up the last of my christmas shopping at the brooklyn flea today. Chrissy, Mike, and I impromptu decided to stop in after church today and it did not disappoint! (with the exception of the snob running on the coffee stand) Mike found a framed print we both really liked and decided to purchase it for the apartment. It was a steal ;)

Anyway back to christmas in NYC! I bought a Sinatra Christmas album at a Brooklyn record store last weekend and have been playing it quite frequently. Right now we are cheating on Sinatra and watching Michael Buble perform his 2011 Christmas special. This really is the BEST time of year. Here are some Christmas photo highlights from the past month.

We also got to see Judah Friedlander at a comedy club for Mike's work Christmas party. He didn't seem to jazzed to have Mike's drunken co workers coming over to talk to him but at least he took a picture with us!

Oh and also I saw MY FUTURE DOG at the Brooklyn flea today. Look how big his head is. He seemed so calm and wise but also like he would defend his owner at any moment. Little did his actual owner know, I was plotting ways to steal him...

Other than christmas shopping, movie watching, and tree lighting we've continued to explore Astoria. Here is a shot of sekund sun which is a brand new bar/restaurant that opened around the corner of us. I am a big fan of how nice the bartenders are and the food was wonderful as well.
