This is the first year of my life that I have spent the month of December in a warm place....it is taking some getting used to. I have not worn a winter jacket once. Some may say that this is great (Doug) but I like my winter jackets...they add an eastern style. But it is still the Christmas Season and one must celebrate. We had an MBA Christmas party at our home (minus Doug, he was at the AC/DC concert. I was voted coolest wife that night). We had a great dinner:
Then had an white elephant exchange and ate lots of amazing desserts. There were just a couple tears shed over David losing the popular whistle to the other David. Everyone left happy.
The house felt like The Griswold's Christmas by the time everyone left. It started off with shelves falling down, followed by the lights not working on the Christmas tree, to the wreath following down, to more shelves falling down. The place just falls apart when Doug is not around.
The next week we went to check out the lights on 3rd Street....kind of let down LA on your Christmas lights. I am in search of more before we take off to Arizona.
We did enjoy some very yummy Hot Chocolate

FUN TIMES! I have to agree though, it's just not Christmas in a warm climate! I spent MANY warm holidays in CA and LV and am LOVING it now on the East Coast! Your X-mas letter, as always, was hilarious! Merry Christmas!!!! Love ya!
It was so good to see doug! I wish so badly that you could have come, but we totally understand! I hope you have the most awesome christmas in Arizona.
ps, it was pretty much a blizzard here on friday.
two things:
first, i too think a warm christmas would be weird, although the first four of my life were spent that way. but DC winters are pretty much lame. cold without snow?! pointless.
second, i really admire your ability to make friends. it seems that you just have such a talent for this! i could live somewhere for years and not have has many friends as you do after being in LA for months. another thing to look up to you for! :)
Hope you guys are having a great Christmas, one of these days we will catch up, we keep going in opposite directions. The hot chocolate looks sooo good! Merry Christmas! Thanks for the letter, we didn't get that far this year. Hopefully next year.
