I'm generally a fan of Christmas. I do shy away a little bit, and frown upon the general over-indulgence and over-excitement of those around me, but I like Christmas. This year however I haven't really warmed up to the idea. I was gladly turned the holiday switch after thanksgiving buying a tree, putting up lights, and preparing for (hopefully) a great Christmas season.
Then days turned into weeks, Christmas was still weeks away, and I was getting pretty grinchy. I had to go shopping once or twice and was annoyed by the crowds. I've been out at night, several times, but I haven't wanted to see any Christmas lights. Talk of going to Temple Square bored me, and the holidays seemed further away than ever.
Then today happened. I went outside to my car and my spirits lifted. SNOW! It had snowed a light dusting durring the night, and everything seemed Chistmas-y in an instant. Then as I worked through the morning I kept an eye outside and watched as the snow-flurrys kept coming and coming. My jubilation at the beautiful weather made me realize, I need snow to make my Christmas complete.
Well if I ever live in Texas then I guess I might just skip Christmas, but for now, I am fully happy to welcome the real winter and the real Christmas.

craving
I'm really feeling the urge to post something, but I don't know what. I often think of simple ideas to talk about while I'm working and stuff, but I don't remember them for long. Life lately has been fairly mundane...
Oh wait! I remember one of the more exciting things of the past week or two. One night we went out to Cold Stone to get some ice cream. All day at work I had been thinking about churros and I day-dreamed about churros mixed into ice cream. So we went to Cold Stone and I quickly glanced at thier mix-in's list.... no churros or any other kind of cinnamon-covered pastry, sigh. But then I saw this on a sign:
The Churro Carmel Crave. It was wonderful, toasty churros, gooey carmel, and tasty french vanilla ice cream. It was a dream come true.
