Ah Christmas!

So Christmas is here and for some reason it has been hard for me to get into the Christmas spirit. Maybe it is because I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet, or maybe it was the lack of snow (which was fixed yesterday). Who knows. Hopefully I can get into it soon though cause Christmas is no fun if your not feeling festive.

Last night I tried to get into the mood by going up to SLC to look at the light on Temple Square. How could you not be ready for Christmas after going up there? So me and Hilary braved the snow and drove up there. We ate dinner at the Olive Garden and lucky for us, some high school choir was there. So we were serenaded through our dinner with Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." I was not aware that this was now a staple carol. haha After paying for our dinner (which was a lot more expensive then I was thinking it was gonna be), we left and headed to Temple Square. Well all I can say is that was a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time and I love Hilary. But we were surrounded and I mean SURROUNDED by all these couples. Ugh what a reminder. So when we were looking at the nativity, we had a couple making out on one side and a young family on the other. Ok so we were not only surrounded by couples, but by families as well. Not much better.

So after we looked at the lights and wandered around in the cold, trying not to slip on ice, we headed over to Cole's house (he called me earlier to see if I wanted to come up and hang out). So we detoured over to the Avenues and stopped in. That was a lot of fun!! Cole's brother was there (who turns out to be this kid I know but I never realized he was related to Cole) and soon after we got there Chad got home and Justin came over. So we hung out over there for a few hours and had pizza and sat around and talked. It was really nice!! I'm sure Dick hates us (the guy who lives about Cole... haha acutally Dick Nourse the Channel 5 guy), but oh well.

So that was my attempt to kind of break in the holidays. It worked a little bit and all the snow we got helped out too. I'm still not quite there but hey I have 21 days to work on it!!
