Merry (fake) Christmas!!!

First of all, apparently the world didn't end at 6:12 this morning.  Phew.

In other news, today Dan and I will be celebrating Fake Christmas, and I couldn't be more excited!  I've been anxious to give him his gifts, and I can't wait for a night of Christmas revelry haha.

We have a reservation at Poste, and I am super psyched.  I have only ever been there for drinks, but we have talked about going for a while.  What better time to splurge a little bit than on Christmas, right?!  Their fall vegeatable entree sounds fabulous, as do their buckwheat vegetable crepes.  I think my belly will be happy tonight :) Dan was particularly intrigued by their Mr. and Mrs. Crunchy sandwiches {Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame, respectively}.  To be honest, I didn't know that that was the direct translation, so we've had some good chuckles about that one, since that's how they refer to them on their menu.

Depending on how much time we have, we will be going either before or after dinner to see the Capitol Christmas Tree.  Dan knows how much I love this tree, so has graciously agreed to indulge my Christmas whim of going to see it.  Afterward, we'll enjoy baked goods {of course} and exchange gifts at home, followed by a screening of Home Alone.  Seriously, it's not Christmas until you watch it!  I'm grateful to have tonight with my guy before he goes home for a few days for Christmas!

Tomorrow, I have a really fun day planned with a dear friend that includes the Georgetown basketball game and a trip to see Anna Karenina.  I'm so glad I get a bonus day with her before the holidays!  Oh, and I'm finally starting to feel less sore when I run, so I'm going to stick to the marathon training plan and do a 10-miler tomorrow for my off-weekend short run.  I'll be going home either on Saturday night or Sunday morning, depending on how long it takes me to get my act together and finish packing.

I'll leave you all with a little something.  I just couldn't help myself:

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
