Merry Christmas

I LOVE Christmas. I love to SHOP for Christmas presents (and normally, I'm not a big fan of shopping), I love to WRAP Christmas presents, I love to GIVE Christmas presents! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE to DECORATE for Christmas!!!! When I wasn't traveling, I would start the day after Thanksgiving (this is a must, since Thanksgiving is a holiday all on it's own), and I'll decorate for two weeks!!! I have boxes, and boxes, and BOXES of Christmas decorations. Lights, beads, tree, ornaments, table cloths, the works!!!!
Although this Christmas hasn't been as Christmas-y. Mom had her knee surgery back before Thanksgiving, so she hadn't decorated at all (and who do you think I inherited the C-mas decoration bug from?), plus, it rained today. Not even CLOSE to being cold enough for snow. Bummer. Then, to top it off.....my parents and I have this tradition of after presents, we get dressed, and then go to breakfast. The last, I don't know how many years, it's been at the Holiday Inn. This year, the HI restaurant was CLOSED for breakfast!!! CLOSED! Don't they know there are holiday traditions at work here??? How could they be CLOSED for breakfast! We ended up eating at the Waffle House. Not bad food wise, but still.....not the same.

*sigh* Over-all though. A not too shabby Christmas.

So Merry Christmas all my friends.
