Tis the Season

I put up my Christmas Tree tonight!
(Look how awesomely textured my wall looks with the lights. Normally it's just white and boring)


Now, many of you know that I am normally absolutely against acknowledging Christmas until after Thanksgiving. But this year I feel justified for 2 reasons:
1 - I will be gone all of Thanksgiving weekend and won't get the chance to put it up then.

2 - I had Thanksgiving yesterday.

Two actually. We had a friend Thanksgiving dinner last night, which was awesome. I didn't get any pics of that one though.
Then later that night my family was having Thanksgiving dinner (we move holidays to our convenience depending on when people can be home) so they skyped me in for dinner. They even set me (the laptop) on the table so it was almost like being there. Except I didn't get to actually eat the food, but it was 2am for me, so that was ok.


After putting up my tree I spent the evening watching my favorite Christmas classics. I don't care how old you are, Christmas specials never get old. I will watch Charlie Brown Christmas every year for as long as I live.


On a side note - I realized that even though I'm not 25 quite yet, this is my 25th Christmas. Happy 25 Christmas trees to me!
