'Tis the season...

Christmas is here!! In full effect! Frantic shoppers, holiday traffic, crazy blow up yard decorations, and Grinch's and scrooges. But then there's the family traditions, holiday parties, christmas trees, cold weather, time with friends and family, decorating, time off from work, and not to mention...the giving and recieving of presents! Christmas should be celebrated, not dreaded. It's the celebration of the birth of Christ and we should be joyus during this time, not getting caught up in all the hoop-laa that surrounds the holidays. This is one of the times during the year we take time time to really remember all the important people and things in our life. Merry Christmas, peeps.

It's hard to believe that this year is almost over. I think that as you get older, time goes by much faster. It seems like the years used to last so much longer. Maybe it's the birthday I have coming up. 29...that just doesn't sound good. I remember when I though 30 was old. I have to say though, my 20's were great. I had a great time, learned a lot, met some of my most favorite people. I still have a year until 30, I'll freak out then.

Here are a few pics from Thanksgiving at Mom's.
