Christmas is a time for cute sweaters and pea coats and hot cocoa and being able to see your own breath when you venture outside. Well, here in California (where I am anyway) it is actually quite warm. I didn't sign up for this Jimmy Buffett bullshit! To the folks in Wisconsin- I miss you dearly and please do some snow angels on my behalf. Or at least throw a snowball at someone. Next year I'll be there. And in the not too distant future (I hope) a trip to NYC at Christmas, for ice-skating. Its always been a dream of mine.
