Christmas time is coming...

Leave it up to America to start setting up Christmas decorations in September. I have always found it hilarious how the day after one big holiday, decorations for the next big holiday will line the racks of department stores. For instance, the day after Thanksgiving, it seems that red and green are the only colors that can be found in Macy's, or even Rite Aid. Or, the day after New Years, there are entire aisles dedicated to pink and red hearts and chocolate at Safeway. It's just madness, it is! 

Although, I must say, I am more excited for Christmas this year than I think I've ever been. Maybe it's because I'm moving up to Seattle. If you've ever been in downtown Seattle during the Christmas season, you'll understand the grounds for my excitement. It's a mess of ethereal and burly joy, with the huge Christmas trees, and the lights that line the windows of small restaurants off of Pike Place Market. There's just a busy glow about the city, and there's really nothing like it, except (maybe) Christmas in NYC. I have been to NYC a few times, but never in the Winter, so I can only speculate that it would be better simply because NYC always seems to be better than everywhere else during other seasons...

Oh Christmas, do come soon!
