Okay okay... the roses in Chavez Square were finally gone last week. But folks... if you're in a place that winter lives... you totally understand my utter amazement vis a vis acceptance that it rains in California rather than snow -- there's roses and camilla in bloom rather than ice-icles (sp?). The hills have turned green again (from brown in July through November). Sigh. I still love it here.
Christmas night was wonderful: bottles of Champagne', bottles of Wine, and roast goose. Family, friends and loved ones. Presents thoughtful and extravigant.
Am I the only one who feels unworthy?
Alright... okay. I'm convinced that I the only thing I need on Christmas is my family. Frankly, I have a good job and can pretty much buy everything I want. (Even though some things are saved for Boyfriend, because I ain't buyin' myself diamonds -- that's his job!). Boyfriend and I talked about not exchanging gifts next year... because we really do feel bad that everyone goes off and spends and spends... and there are so many people who actually Need stuff and we know that we don't.
Next year, we're going to Costa Rica and work at a Mission for Spring break. Then, to build houses in Mexico and not exchange gifts with one-another at Christmas. But lil K has already announced that she will buy us gifts, because that's what she wants to do for the holidays.
Kiss kiss. Hug Hug!
Happy Holidays.

Sounds like you had a good Christmas :o)
The trips sound like they will be great. Hope you will fill us in on them when the time comes.
Just as a side note, the proper spelling for those haning pieces of ice that you weren't sure how to spell is "icicles" ;o)
the volunteer work sounds good, I ahve always wanted to build houses in mexico - in part becasue they dont have to get building permits ar have snoopy inspectors looking over your work!!!
Goodness me! When did we last talk, mon petit joulet?
Miss you.
