I meant to do this sooner, but I really wanted to get that shot of the candy cane heart before I made this post. Silly me, I just got around to taking that photo yesterday. The rest are just a random selection of holiday-esque photos I've taken either this season or during the 2009/2010 transition. I love this time of year. I wish it had been more festive this year for us, but current circumstances aside, it was still nice.

The new year holds a lot of good things to come. I'm very much looking forward to it. I don't really have any resolutions, as I'm not very good at them. However, I have decided my mantra this year will be to "be bold". I can't just wait for life to happen on its own. I'm going to go after the things I want and hopefully my goals won't prove to be aiming too high. I'm ready to leave 2010 behind.

Happy New Year to you and your's! <3
