Counting the Days

Yes! I bought my ticket home for Christmas yesterday. I'm so excited! Christmas at home - good food (Polish cheesecake), making cookies (and a mess) with Vinnie, learning to own noobs on World of Warcraft with the guys, Christmas shopping with Dad in Seattle, driving up to Whidbey Island with Mom, hanging out with Crystal, midnight Mass (what language is it in this year?), being Santa's little elf, and laughing at the psycho kitty (His nose is going to be out of joint with me home.).

I haven't been home for Christmas in two years, but I'm not complaining about how I spent Christmas last year. I was in Paris! And that says it all! The organ music at Notre Dame that morning still reverberates in my mind, and after visiting Chartres later that afternoon, I can die happy. I'm still not sure what I ate for Christmas dinner at the little cafe in Chartres, but it was all part of the French experience.

That's beautiful! I'm so glad you can go home this year--wonder if MSG will take off on the 25th???
