Hannah and I listened to Christmas music on the way to Anneliese this morning. She was singing Rudolph with her high, clear voice and I was warbling my way through 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland'. Christmas season in Southern California seems strange and anti climactic. While the lights come up and the tree lots proliferate, the weather doesn't cooperate with classic Christmas expections. The years past, when travels to Canada or Tahoe gave the layer of white to the Christmas season helped. Putting up lights in shorts and flip flops seems counter intuitive, but is common and on the very warm days of December, necessary.
Feathery snow, icicles and the idea of ice skating, hot cocoa--a real White Christmas.
I can't wait!

So - you're really thinking that much about the move to Canada hunh?
I'm glad we were able to confirm the trip up to Tahoe thing with your brother...this "Cisco shut down" is going to work to our advantage I think - and we'll get some snowboarding and enough cold weather to hold us over until February's President' Day weekend trip!
