Christmastime!

I love Christmastime. I love decorating my house and putting up my tree, having parties, going to parties, playing games, being with family and friends, being inside when it is dumping snow outside, and listening to cool Christmas music. I hate Christmas shopping though, but I hate shopping in general, so I guess that should be no surprise. I would just do it all online, but now I've put it off so long that I don't have time to do it online. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to brave the crowds eventually. Maybe I'll wait until I get home to Idaho to do it.

The other day I was driving here in the snow, getting all irritable, and I thought, "I can't wait until I move back to Idaho so I don't have to drive on roads like this." And then I realized that it snows in Idaho too and that the roads are actually usually worse than they are in Utah. BUT, here is the difference...in Idaho you don't EVER have traffic with snow (other than maybe 17th Street on Saturdays in December) and people SLOW DOWN when it snows and don't drive like complete Utards.

So, as I mentioned earlier, I love to decorate my house for Christmas. It always takes me forever though and is so much work and hardly anyone sees it but me. So, I thought I'd post a few pics of my house all decorated for the holidays, so I can feel that all my hard work was a little more worth it.

Oh, and yes, my house is sort of FOR SALE, so if any of you are looking for a second home, or a first home for that matter, let me know. I say sort of because I really don't want to sell it until Spring when all the hundreds of flower bulbs I have planted come up so I can enjoy them one last time. And who wants to move in the Winter anyway? Not me.

Brrr...Global Warming no more!
