It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go... :)W
So this year I got a real tree! I'm just hoping I don't kill it... So far, so good-- it's been 1 whole day! I've gotten a mini tree from Trader Joe's for the past 3 years, and every year I kill it. Just not enough light in my house. This year it didn't even make it until Christmas, I was so sad! I hate killing things! It was so cute too. I shall have to pray for my tree... :)

I visited El Paso, TX last week and you know, it's a very friendly place. They had a Christmas tree set up, and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling in the airport-- my hotel room ha
d Christmas music (which said the word "Christmas" in it) playing in the lobby. The fireplace was lit, and there was a tree with presents underneath by the door. There were books for borrowing on a bookshelf in the lobby, and the people at the counter were concerned about whether or not I had breakfast and told me how to take it on the go.W
I rode in the hotel shuttle--which didn't only go to the airport for a change--all around El Paso as the driver took some freight pilots to their hub. I had a lovely time hanging out with the driver and the pilots, chatting about what this world is coming to and how liberal California is! You can't even say "Merry Christmas" in California anymore without "offending someone". But in El Paso, it was all over (even though it was still commercialized). It was just a very friendly place, not impersonal or sterile like most places I go. Despite being a barren industrial wasteland that gets up to the 100's in the summer, I think it is quite lovely. I enjoyed myself completely!

Fun stuff also, I got a little digital recorder for Christmas (early)! It also plays mp3 files, so now I have a music player as well. With this I can make impromptu/demo recordings and upload them onto my computer! So I can burn a CD or put music on the internet if I want. This shall replace my 1980's tape recorder as an awesome quick recording device. The sound quality is pretty amazing too! Yippee! Fun stuff.

Well, I could write more, but lest I lose your attention (if I haven't already), I shall bid you adieu! Merry Christmas! Praise be to God for the gift of His wonderful Son-- for He is the reason for the season! :)
