Tis The Season

I don't know what is different (maybe my attitude) but I am excited about the Christmas season this year. I already have the decorations put out and Scott has our lights up. WOW! That is a record. We are usually scrambling to put up decorations all through the month...but they are done and it isn't even December yet. We don't have a tree yet though.....but then that part I am never very excited about. I could do without a Christmas tree and be just fine.....but, Scott loves them and so we will go to the mountains and get one (that part I like) and I will battle it (which means I will fight the negative thoughts I have about Christmas trees). I am very excited to do another tradition that we haven't done for quite a few years but we used to do every year.....that is, go to SLC to the cattlemen's convention. I don't love the city, except at Christmas time. I love all the lights, the music in the stores, and for a day or two to experience the inner city life (sortof) that is without having to drive in it, because I just ride the Trax into the malls. We haven't been to SLC for a long time though and I understand it has changed a lot. So, we'll see what happens. Here's to the beginning of the 2009 Christmas Holidays!
