Fa La La La La Monday

Another weekend in the books.  I was really getting excited yesterday when I realized that I won't work a 5 day work week for at least the next 6 weeks. 4 1/2 days this week, 4 days next week, 3 days the next week, 3 1/2 days the next, 4 days the week after that and finally, 3 1/2 the week of MLK day.  It's like taking a vacation spread out over the course of a month.

By this time last year, we'd already had our first snow.  This year we've barely had any nights with freezing temperatures.  As ski bums, we sure were spoiled last year.  It's been a rough start to the ski season, but we'll keep trying!

This photo makes me realize that I haven't bothered to put wreaths on the windows.
Ooops!

Miscellaneous Thoughts about Christmas today:

• I love this time of year.  
• I love the smells and twinkles of the lights. 
• I love that my niece and nephews are so excited and they have genuine concern for their Elves and what they are telling Santa.  
• I love the music...not all of it, but Johnny Mathis and others.   
• There is magic in the air.

Happy Monday, y'all!

xoxo,
Laurie
