Is it too soon?


Is anyone else as excited as I am for holiday seasons already? Maybe it's just me but as we approach the holiday seasons, I am getting more stoked about it. Like Kiera put in her blog I love the quote in You've Got Mail. "Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address".
I can't wait to see the leaves change and to see the beautiful colors of red, yellow, orange and brown. I can't wait to see the Chrismas lights and to smell the combination of hot chocolate and cinnamon. For those of you who really know me, know that I am a Christmas FREAK! I have actually set up our tree myself for the rest of my family to decorate. There is just something about the holiday seasons that touches my heart. I love wearing the warm sweaters and being excited to warm up in the car after being outside for so long. Although winter can be frustrating at times with the icy roads and the family members that you have NO clue what gifts to get them, I still love it. I love the red noses and visable breath in the air. Christmas makes me think of alot of things but one in particular is family. Christmas time just brings the feeling of togetherness and I guess that's why I love it so much. I love this quote by Norman Vincent Peale. He said....

"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."

And I couldn't agree with him more.

I loved every word of this blog. I love Christmas so much, for all the reasons that you said and more. I can't wait for winter. I love the smell of snow. I love to hear it crunch beneath my feet.

And Jean and I quote "you've Got Mail" all the time...LOL!

I hope you had a safe flight. I will miss you. When you come back to visit, we need to have lunch again.

Did you watch BB? What did you think?

Don't laugh, you really could be a model. I'm glad Utah is good. BB was great. I like the way it turned out and that Keisha got some $ too. Now I'm onto Dancing with the Stars. Work still isn't the same without you. Take care
