I'm starting to feel the Christmas spirit finally. I am usually done making/buying gifts by now. I've fallen behind this year. I have been sick for the last 3 weeks, so that hasn't helped the situation. Charlie and I did manage to find a tree (fake, and fairly cheap -- but it does the job) and got that up and decorated.

It has been snowing here in Michigan -- and holy wah, it has been cold!!! It sure looks pretty though.

Our landlords have put up some decorations outdoors. I thought these guys were cute and festive.

So, I have some Christmas shopping to do this next week. I've got tons of cleaning to do to get ready for my family coming out for Christmas Eve -- not to mention figuring out Christmas baking and planning some meals. I really like this time of year though -- so it will be fun.
I didn't get that job that I really wanted. I didn't even get an interview. I am trying not to let it bother me too much. I am the type of person that believes things happen for a reason. If this job wasn't meant to be then who am I to disagree? There must be something better in store for me.
