Christmas Carols

So the Christmas playlist on my iPod has been dusted off and I am humming Christmas carols these days. In the past couple of years, I didn't really catch the spirit of the season until a couple of days before Christmas. If you play Christmas carols after the 25th of December, then people look at you funny. So this year I have vowed to get into the spirit early. I've just come across Chris Botti's jazz Christmas cd December and it's amazing. If you haven't heard it, you should pick it up.



I am leaving for New York on Wednesday, coming back Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing my Mom and Dad and also meeting up with one of my sisters and her family who recently relocated to the area. In actuality, I'm only going to be there two and a half days, so I will survive without a cell phone or Thai food. I've definitely made contact with my drama queen gene lately about this trip.

My mom told me today that my brother just got transferred from Chicago to Seattle! I'm so excited. To have my brother's family just a couple hours away by air and in the same time zone will be a lot of fun and Washington is a great state to visit. Hey Mike, get ready for the requisite trip to the Boeing Factory with me. It's a cool place and I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

Here's to hoping you all had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend. I hope that you all have time to relax and enjoy the Christmas season over the next few weeks.

Cuidate.
