Our Christmas tree is up (his name is Scooter). The presents are starting to collect under its branches. The kitties are trying to drink its water. The palm trees have lights wrapped around their trunks. My ornament this year is a hippo, how appropriate. T-minus three days till Nashville and I’m so stinken excited. Every posts that comes up for new things to do gets me ever so excited. I’m glad I’m taking the road trip back to Greensboro to see Kari, Mike, Brian and Sarah. Wouldn’t be Christmas without them. The mornings are freezing (well in the 40s) and I have to always wear socks. Its nice having a little winter weather to help with the Christmas celebrations. Holiday trio drinks at Starbucks seem to be all we make these days. Gettin’ a little tired of steaming eggnog though. Wish I owned more Christmas music but cant find the practically of buying up album I only listen to during one month of the year. But I need the classics. I’m behind on my Christmas presents of knitting scarves. Seems all that’s on TV these days in New York and how wonderful it is during this season. I will go there for the holidays one day, especially time square on New Years. Think I’m crazy all you want, I’ve always wanted to do that. My lips are capped, which means weather is finally listening to my pleas. I love December.
