I am having mixed feelings about this holiday season. On one hand it does not feel like "Christmas" and I am actually a little home sick for the cold weather in Oregon. I know that I can only say this because I am not there right now and I am glad I am somewhere where it is warm. But there is something to be said and missed about winter weather during the holidays.
Although it is warm and doesn't feel like Christmas weather wise, Hawaii does a pretty good job with the festivities. We have done a few holiday themed activities this past month. We watched the Honolulu City Lights Parade. This was cool for Never because he got to see all kinds of his favortite trucks drive by plus they were all decked out and covered in lights. The prettiest garbage truck I ever saw! We got to hear some holiday music and of course see Santa Claus.
We also got to see a boat parade!
The big mall in town has a holiday train, the Candy Cane train. Nev got to ride the train with his friend Hugh. They were both pretty excited about riding the train and they did a good job riding it by themselves.
Well, I pretty much have everything done for Christmas. I've gotten all my presents done or bought and packages sent off. Christmas cards are in the mail. And packages are wrapped. I still have to buy stuff for a Christmas dinner but I'll wait till the last minute so my fridge doesn't get too packed. I'm thinking I'll cook a ham this year.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
Hi Jaime! I totally understand what you're saying about warm Christmases. There is something special about a cozy indoor Christmas by the fire, and it seems a little weird to me now to BBQ on Christmas, but I would much prefer to be in the warm weather!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how quickly Never has turned into a little boy. He is so cute! And so is your hair! Love it!
We miss you guys!
