Achoooo

It's Monday and I have a cold. I've been sitting here sneezing all day and wishing that I was at home in my bed instead of looking at my computer screen with semi-blurred vision. I guess being sick this time of the year is okay since it's "winter." Also, I haven't been sick in a year (last Christmas, I think), so I can't really complain. Anyway, on an exciting Christmas note, being that this past weekend was the first of December, it was the first of the holiday celebrations that my family and I attend. Sunday was the Deck the Palms event at Seaport Village, and boy was it festive. I would like to point out that this event, and most Christmas outtings, are probably amazing if you are under the age of 10. At the seaport, there were tons of areas set up for kids to create all kinds of things - holiday candles, chalk drawings and sand dollar ornaments. There was even a fruitcake toss and a holiday puppet show. And, as expected, Santa made an appearance... on a surf board! It really was a lot of fun! Holidays are always a little strange here in San Diego because it's usually sunny and warm. Deck the Palms was a nice way to begin the Christmas season the SoCal way. Coming up next are the PB Holiday Parade, Christmas in Old Poway Park and a visit to Candy Cane Lane. I can't wait!

Now, back to work and my box of tissues.
