Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…
…unfortunately, I don’t know any more of the words than that, but we got our tree yesterday! :) Tonight I’m going to put a fire in the fireplace, pipe my iPod with all my Christmas songs into some bigger speakers, make hot chocolate, and decorate my tree. Yay! I love December. It’s my birthday month, and Christmastime, and there’s (usually) lovely snow. <sigh> Now if it would just start snowing tonight, everything would be perfect! (‘Specially if tomorrow ended up being a snow day!)

New (to us) Car
We finally found a used wagon, with most of what we wanted – it’s not a standard, but how hard can it be to drive an automatic? (You must understand, I’ve only driven manual transmission cars – except for an occasional rental – for the past six years.) It’s a very different color. The sort where when you first look at it, you can’t really say whether you love it or hate it. My mom thinks it’s a light silver green. I would have called it aquamarine – almost the color of my birthstone. (Which led Denis to believe he was off the hook for a birthday present. I don’t think so!) The dealer just said it was green. The loan guy (who’s color blind) thought it was gray. I’ll have to post a picture and get everyone else’s opinion on what color it actually is.

Dance the Night Away
Saturday night was our holiday party at work. It turned out great! The food was wonderful, the DJ was good (although, not many people danced), and the hall was beautiful. Our dance instructor will be very proud of the fact that we got out there and danced a lot more than we would have before we took lessons. All in all, a very memorable evening.
