I’m Pumped for Christmas!

This weekend I’ve been getting into the Holiday spirit! Saturday night we celebrated my Mom’s Birthday and went to the Christmas tree lighting ceremony where we live. Apparently it is a big deal since it’s the tallest real animated tree in Arizona. Tyler and I had to laugh at the people we saw bundled up in their coats, wearing hats, & UGG boots. It was chilly but not that cold! I remember the brutal snowy days in New York and how I wanted to cry because my ears hurt from the strong painful wind! I’m so glad we don’t have that weather here but I do miss bundling up sometimes. We’ll have to make a trip up to snowy Flagstaff later in January.

I stayed up Saturday night designing our Christmas cards. I hope to get them mailed our next week and if I do, that will be so amazing since I’m such a procrastinator when it comes to mail.

I have to admit that I’m one of those people who decorate early. After emptying the box with decorations, I realized that we don’t have a lot of decorations for a house. We had enough for an apartment. Tyler thought I was insane when I asked him to pretty please bring the Christmas tree in from the garage. I’ll keep begging him everyday this week… and hopefully he’ll cave in. I’ve always wanted a Christmas tree up at least for Thanksgiving.

I’m so glad I have 2 and half days of work this week!

Oh but the fun of living in a warm climate is overreacting to weather that isn’t cold!!!

Good luck getting the tree up and decorated before Thursday!!!! Enjoy your 2 1/2 day work week as well! Lucky duck!

put up the tree the morning of or evening of thanksgiving! get into the spirit before black friday shopping!

i love it when people go crazy and dress warm as if the slightest cold wind will knock them down freezing to death. i miss our winters in rochester. let me cap off a few mems and i’ll get going. the night after ice skating volunteering driving back to RTK, slippery ice on the bridge, midnight runs to walmart, french dip and cinna-rolls, chex mix & peanut butter kisses.

Oh, I love Christmas too!

I wait until the first of December though. I’m scared if I don’t Santa won’t visit me! :P

You look beautiful Miss Steph Anne in your picture there. I am yet to see a bad photo though! xx

I am eagerly anticipating a cold winter when we go to Maine in February–you and Amy will have to give me tips on cold survival! Seriously–I’ve never really left Texas for a long time in the winter. Brr.

I will probably be sending out new years cards–I really wanted them to be holiday cards, but our photos aren’t in yet. Oh well! Blue and silver it is!

Christmas was not on my brain at all until this weekend when I was walking in to a movie and saw decorations everywhere. I guess it is that time of year.

Cute pic! I’m Jewish – I’m jealous of everyone who gets so into celebrating Christmas. I love it!
