listen up, world

there is one thing, and one thing only, that makes me KNOW it's christmas time.

you know those things that just resonate so thoroughly through your body that all you can do is sit and feel them? the things that come along and YOU JUST KNOW they're right? THOSE things?

bam.

little.

debbie.

christmas.

tree.

cakes.

that's my holiday Know.

i don't know why!

we ate them as children, and i loved them!

i used to pull all five of them out of the box to see which one had the most sprinkles on it before eating one.

and in our household, snack time was 3:30-4:00, no eating after 4:00 pm, till dinnertime.

so if you missed your window of little debbie opportunity, boy oh boy, were you SOL.

not only that, but the little trees came around once a year!

they were so cute!

so heavenly!

so decadent!

(to a small child.)

pretty much my modern-day equivalent of going to a cupcake bakery.

but that's it, my friends.

no, it's not the christmas poinsettia plates, the stockings down the stairs, the christmas village.

it's the little debbie christmas tree cakes

and i JUST KNOW THEY'RE GOOD.
