Scrooge

So I had the most WONDERFUL time while I was home in Michigan...to the point that when I returned I haven't wanted to listen to Christmas music OR decorate.  I haven't been in the mood.  I know it has only been two days since I have been back, but the homesickness feeling crept back as soon as we crossed into Minnesota on the drive.  Luckily, Joe was sleeping so I could keep my feelings to myself.  When I left to go home, it was 60 degrees in Minnesota.  When we returned, there was snow on the ground and it was a whopping 20 degrees!  Brrrr!

Since it is cold, I thought I would start small with the Christmas decorations and ease into the Christmas music.  (I mean who would have thought that I wouldn't want to listen to Christmas music on the Christmas radio station?!)  So I just purchased Blake Shelton's new Christmas CD on iTunes...it's pretty much amazing! So far my favorite is #11...HOME (featuring Michael Buble...I mean, it has been a favorite song of mine in the past anyway!!)  I also got out my Christmas candles to burn.  It was fun for me to be able to use the candles I received from Tyler last year as a Christmas gift from my classroom!  That's probably as far as I will get today.

Hopefully I will get into the holiday spirit sometime soon.  Otherwise we may not even have a Christmas tree this year.

Ok enough of that...
