Christmas Eve was spent at my dear friend Alex Williams house. Her parents always throw a huge bash, complete with glutenous amounts of posh dishes and enough people to facilitate the "party" feel. I absolutely love spending time with my family and others that I love. Alex goes to school with me at UNLV and plans on becoming an actress when after she graduates. What a lovely girl. We grew up together. I love her. Moreover, I love pre-holiday festivites (as you may have presumed after reading previous posts). Favorite incidents from the evening.... 1. Meeting a new neighbor lady (she was a bit obsessed with me, chelsea and alex. I guess we are "smart"?) 2. Walking to the Williams house in cold, cold, cold weather. I was holding a pie. 3. Laughing at Alex (just in general). 4. Poking my dad's full, Christmas belly. 5. Having fun drinks. 6.

I love Christmas, of course. What kind of living, breathing human would I be if I didn't enjoy the holiday festivities ? I do love them, I do.

You spend an entire month baking, shopping, wrapping, laughing and anticipating the excitement of a supposed wonderful day and when it comes, it's there, it happens and then it's all over. It almost makes me angry. I almost can't enjoy each moment because I know that soon it will be over and I have to face reality. Ugh. Reality. I love you, but sometimes I don't always want you. Kind of like spaghettiO's. So to brighten my day I remembered the day I was in Downtown San Diego and this little old German lady approached me. Although I hardly understood her, I adored her disposition. She was kind enough to let me snap a photo of her.
