Is it me, or does it barely seem like Christmas time this year? Our team's intern at work captured it-"It doesn't seem like Christmas; it just seems cold." It some ways it is true. I feel more "bah-humbug" than ever. We have had a couple of Christmas things at work, but most seem lame to me. Specifically, this door decorating contest that turned into senior VP worship. It did show off some people's photoshop talents. I have done barely any Christmas shopping (and from the news, it seems I am not the only one avoiding the stores). There have been some fun Christmas activities though. Last week our whole team went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then had the afternoon off- that is the best Christmas bonus ever! Also, BF and I went to the Statehouse tree lighting ceremony. Not only was Santa there, but they also had real live penguins. The one here is named Punky. Speaking of BF, we had our Christmas this week before heading home to families. It was wonderful- except for the part where I fell asleep at about 9pm because of some vaccinations for Africa knocked me off my feet. Lastly, Jason and I had some fun this past weekend at a glass ornament blowing workshop. It was super neat. Jason and I figure that glass blowing graduates us from nerd to geek, but I am not sure if it chases away the Christmas Grinch.

Christmas Blows!
