Its begining to smell a lot like Christmas.....
Ah, my second favorite holiday! (Its just slightly behind Easter.) My roommate, Eric, and myself went out late last night and bought a live (if it is cut, is it really still alive? great, now I have tree guilt) tree, wreath and pine garland. It was wonderful waking up to the scent of fir and pine. We just need a bit of holly and off we go. So far the tree only has my ornaments on it- well, what are left of them anyway. When I moved this summer someone actually stole my Christmas ornaments leaving only the bell I bought in Chinle, Arizona. They weren't valuable, but there were two from the church I had been baptized in- one which I vaguely worry about my reception in this coming Christmas service as I have decided to stay in Communion while they are leaving and, to top it all off, I have openly committed the heresy of joining an inclusive church in San Antonio. Well, if I am not welcome at Holy Trinity there is always St. Nicolas.
But I digress! Our house is shaping into a wonderful holiday confection, it smells green and happy and we got to break into our first day of the Advent Calender- a new experience that I provided for my mostly Scottish roommate. How she existed without German advent calenders and their wonderful bits of chocolaty goodness, I'll never know!
