Christmas

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Every year. I put so much work into it, lots of thought into everyone's gifts, and typically I am done shopping every year well before Thanksgiving (I hate crowds and I especially hate Christmas shopping crowds).

This year was really fantastic. For both of my parents, my good friend Tricia (of www.spokeit.com fame) took pictures of Joey and Hero which I bought fancy frames for. I bought David a Nationals jersey with his name and number on the back of it.

I personally received a lot of goodies - I got the best little keyboard/case for my iPad, which will make taking notes in class, sending emails, updating my blog, and pretty much everything else a million times easier. And since it doubles as a case for both the keyboard and iPad it is still really easy and lightweight to carry. Perfect!

We also got a white Christmas - which is lovely. It snowed all evening and all night, as well as all day today. It is still coming down out there, but the accumulation hasn't been as much as I was hoping for - the weathermen predicted 6-12" for our area and we have about 3" currently. But at least I got snow on Christmas!

So it has been lovely to spend time with parents, Meemaw, and family, as well as David. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get over to visit his family due to weather but I am hoping to go see them soon.

I know the majority of my readers are people that I see personally over the holidays but I hope that you all had a safe and happy holiday!
