Christmas is here....

Yesterday was the Macy's Holiday parade and the annual lighting of the tree downtown. Mandy and I woke up at 6:30 a.m., caught the bus in the freezing cold (literally 32 degrees) and found ourselves the perfect spot to watch the parade from. After the parade we headed back home to warm up before the lighting of the christmas tree. Justin and Bubba decided to come to the tree lighting with us, so we made our way back to downtown. We had to fight our way through masses and masses of people to get a good viewing spot of the tree and the fireworks.....oh yeah i forgot to mention that they shoot fireworks out of the macy's star. special guest stacy orrico sang christmas in the northwest and mayor greg nichols made a rather moving speech about global warming and how it's causing santa's home to melt. all of this to say, christmas is here and i LOVE it.

Well, I am glad to see you celebrating the upcoming holidays. Recently, I spoke with Santa about the global warming issue. He is planning on publishing a book after the holidays about the facts about this area. He felt Al Gore was misinformed--due to the fact that...well, I can't break confidentiality.
