Delayed Holiday Outfit

SOO embarrassing that I'm just now posting my holiday outfit, but I really wanted to share so I'm posting anyways. lol Speaking of the holidays, I'll take this time to write about how my holidays went! So I finished finals on Friday, December 9th. I know its ridiculous that I'm writing about something that happened last year! 😆 Soo long ago! (Yeah, I'm still telling that joke). Anyways, I didn't go home til' Monday, December 12th and I started working the very next day in the morning. Like I mentioned before on a previous blog post, I work at a cute little bakery in Leavenworth, WA. Leavenworth is known as "the little Christmas town" or "the town of lights". It's super cute during the holidays. Every shop and every tree is covered with lights. And for that reason, the holiday season is the busiest time of the year! And I mean BUSY. They have to close all the streets to have enough room for all the tourists. At the bakery I work, we get a line that goes out the door and goes as far as to the end of the street. And the line never ends until we close. It is insane. But I absolutely love it. Everyone is in such a cheerful mood from being in the holiday spirit and I get to bake cookies all day long! 

Here's the bakery I work at!  ⤵  :)

Aaanddd a picture of the town:

You thought I was exaggerating, didn't you?

My first day off of work was on Christmas Eve. So I worked for about two weeks straight, for at least 10 hour shifts each day, sometimes I worked more than 12 hours a day. Can you see why I'm just now posting my holiday outfit post? lol 

My family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve, so I spent my Christmas Eve pretty much baking ALL day. I actually had to show up to the Christmas party like an hour late because I hadn't finished on time. I made snowmen and snowflake decorated cookies for the party. The cookies literally lasted about a minute. I didn't exaggerate to you before, so you can trust me now when I say that I literally had taken just a step inside, and all the cookies were gone.  It was really funny to see them freak out about the cookies. Every one was shoving each other trying to get pictures of them and they wouldn't let anyone grab one until they each got their picture. 😆 

After the crazy welcome I received, we played lots of games to pass time. You see, our family stays up til' midnight on Christmas Eve. Pretty much like what you do on New Year's Eve. We do the whole countdown thing and everything. We played Spoons, Bible Bingo, White Elephant, and at the very end we decided to play Uno. Something we all regretted playing, after like an hour into the game. We were so determined to finish by midnight, but as the clock kept ticking and time started to approach closer to 12:00 am, we all began to lose hope. Be we kept going anyways, and we ended up finishing the game at 11:59 pm. It was a Christmas miracle! We were all taken by surprise, no one thought we would make it, even I. But we finished just in time for the countdown. 

I had such a great time and I love being surround by all my loving family members. Just thinking back, gives me great chills of joy. 😌 

So I guess this sort of turned into a Christmas post... didn't mean for that to happen. Oops!
