tis the season

It's December 8th. I've somehow been ignoring the fact that Christmas is creeping up. It's actually pretty easy to do when you mostly hide in your apartment pretending it's still November. The main distraction of growing a person has also helped a ton. However, it's only 16 days away and I have yet to even make it halfway through my shopping list. In fact, I haven't even made a list. I do have presents for a few people. I'm not one of those crazies who does all of their shopping on the 24th. I definitely am behind though. I just can't seem to focus on the spending aspect of the season. I'm a bit wrapped up in the magic of snowflakes and christmas lights. Let's blame the pregnancy brain. I just keep thinking about babies and love and family and it's all very lovely and beautiful and distracting.

Anyways, I really wanted to post the Taylor Swift song that is on repeat on my playlist right now

Taylor Swift - Never Grow Up

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14 there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
Oh, don't you ever grow up
Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

Browsing the internet for affordable gifts while listening to Taylor Swift has become my daily exercise. It's ok though. I'm making a dent in the non-existent list. I'll get it done.  

Wish me luck...
