Oh December is here-and finally with it snow. So if you weren't in the holiday spirit before, you should be now. And for the most part I am. If I weren't so annoyed with my roommate maybe it'd be a little better, but I won't let him ruin the season.
The city with snow is pretty-as long as you don't look at the ground. It can look less pretty after everyone's tredged and driven through it. However, keep your eyes up and looking at lights twinkling off of trees dressed with snow, and storefronts decorated with garland and ornaments and holiday accoutrements. A smile will come to your face. And if one doesn't you probably don't have a heart.
I'm trying to decide how to spend my Christmas this year. Do I go out, stay in, have friends over, or just enjoy the peace and quiet? I'm leaning toward the peace and quiet quite honestly. However, midnight mass is a possibility. My one catholic tradition that I try and keep when i can. Far from catholic now, it's the only mass that doesn't completely bore me or make me mad. It can be quite beautiful depending on the church. I was going to have friends over...but all the work that goes into that, and I just don't know if I'll have the energy to do it all over again so soon after Thanksgiving. But we'll see.
Customers are starting to get the holiday funny in them. Either way cranky because they cannot find anything on their list, OR, competely willing to take anything you hand them! I do love when they just listen and don't question-it's like my little bit of influence i have over the world to make sure they're reading the right things.
Still have yet to do the Xmas cards-can't find my address book. So, i may have to forgo those this year. Although it makes me a little sad to do so.
